French Chocolate Cake With Ganache

French Chocolate Cake With Ganache

4 eggs

2 dl sugar (170 g)

1 dl flour (60 g)

200 g Dark chocolate

200 g butter

Melt the chocolate and butter together over a double boiler. Allow the mixture to cool slightly while you work with the other ingredients.

Grease a 26 cm springform pan with butter and dust with flour. You can also cut out a circle of baking paper and place it at the bottom to make it easier to remove the cake from the pan. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Whisk the eggs and sugar together for 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Sift the flour into the bowl and pour in the chocolate mixture. Gently fold together with a spatula to avoid deflating the batter.

Bake at 180°C in the center of the oven for 35-40 minutes.

Chocolate glaze:

100 g dark chocolate

50 g butter

1 tbsp syrup

Heat together in a pot, stirring constantly, but be careful not to let the mixture boil.

Pour the chocolate glaze over the cake once it has cooled.
