Ingredients

Scale
  • 100g cake flour
  • 20g cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 5 egg whites
  • 150g granulated sugar (divided as 100g and 50g)
  • 45g milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 50g vegetable oil
  • 400g thick whipping cream
  • 60g powdered sugar
  • A pinch of salt
  • 5g cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 135g thick hot whipping cream
  • 150g semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 15g unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan.
  2. Sift together the cake flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add 100g of granulated sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
  4. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with 50g of granulated sugar. Add the vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture carefully.
  6. Gently incorporate the beaten egg whites into the batter until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 35-40 minutes. Let the cake cool completely.
  8. While the cake cools, whip the thick whipping cream, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Add 5g of cocoa powder and 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
  9. Prepare the ganache by pouring the hot whipping cream over the chopped chocolate and stirring until smooth. Add unsalted butter for a shiny finish.
  10. Once the cake has cooled, slice it and spread whipped cream in layers. Pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the cake.
  11. Chill the cake in the refrigerator before serving.
