Chocolate Baileys Cake
Ingredients
Cake
- 160 g butter
- 100 g good quality dark chocolate
- 200 g brown sugar
- 45 g cocoa powder
- 180 ml Baileys
- 180 g flour
- 1 heaped tsp baking powder
- 3 eggs
Ganache
- 200 g dark chocolate
- 120 ml liquid cream
- 80 ml Baileys
Instructions
Cake
- Preheat the oven to 175°
- Chop all the chocolate first, then take 100g for the cake.
- In a saucepan, heat the butter and chocolate over medium heat until completely melted.
- Add the sugar, cocoa powder as well as the Baileys and whisk together until you get a silky and lump-free mixture. Remove from heat and cool for a few minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
- Add the chocolate mixture and mix until you get an even dough.
- Add the eggs and mix again. Now you can pour the dough into a buttered cake tin and bake for 40-45 minutes.
Ganache
- In a saucepan, bring the liquid cream and Baileys to a simmer.
- Add the remaining chocolate and stir regularly until it has completely molten.
- Set the liquid ganache aside at room temperature. Stir every now and then, to avoid clumps, until thick enough to spread over the cake.
- Enjoy!!!
