Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup (6 oz / 170g) butter or margarine
- 1 cup + 3 tablespoons (9.7 oz / 275g) sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 3 cups (12.7 oz / 360g) all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups (12 fl oz / 355 ml) milk
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup (6 oz / 170g) chocolate chips
For the ganache:
- 7 ounces (200g) chopped milk chocolate
- 1/2 cup (4 fl oz / 118 ml) heavy cream
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix.
- Sift half of the flour into the batter and add half of the milk, mixing until incorporated.
- Repeat the process with the remaining flour and milk.
- Add the baking powder and mix gently.
- Toss the chocolate chips with a teaspoon of flour and add to the batter, mixing well.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 10-inch (27cm) diameter by 4-inch (10cm) tall pan with butter and sugar.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for approximately 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake bakes, prepare the ganache: melt the chopped chocolate in 30-second intervals in the microwave or over a double boiler, stirring well after each interval. Mix in the heavy cream until smooth ganache forms.
- Once baked, let the cake cool completely. Then, remove it from the pan and make medium-sized holes on the top of the cake.
- Place the ganache in a piping bag with a large tip and fill the cake, gently pressing to allow the filling to penetrate the holes.
- Trim off any excess cake and cover the holes.
- Cover the cake with the remaining ganache.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the ganache.
- Serve and enjoy!
