Ingredients

•4 dl Heavy cream
•200 g Dark chocolate
•200 g Milk chocolate
•2.5 dl Milk
•1 tbsp Vinegar
•250 g Flour
•100 g Cocoa powder
•1 tsp Vanilla powder
•1 tsp Baking powder
•1 tsb Baking soda
•3 Eggs
•180 g Sugar
•1.5 dl Oil
•1.5 dl Caramel sauce

Instructions

Prepare the Ganache

Roughly chop the chocolate and set aside.
Heat the cream until it just starts to simmer, then remove from heat.
Add the chocolate to the cream and let sit for 2–3 minutes. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
Place the ganache in the fridge for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.

Chocolate Cake

Mix the milk and vinegar in a small bowl and let it sit for at least 5 minutes until it turns into buttermilk.
In another bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, vanilla powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Sift the ingredients if possible.
Whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, sugar, and oil for 2-3 minutes. Add the dry ingredients and whisk for another 2 minutes.
Grease a cake pan (about 18 cm in diameter) and pour in the batter. Bake in the middle of the oven at 150°C (300°F) for about 40 minutes.
(Note: Baking time may vary depending on your oven)

Assemble the Chocolate Cake

Cut the cake into two layers. Pipe a ring of ganache around the edge of the bottom layer and pour the caramel sauce in the center.

Spread the remaining ganache over the top and sides of the cake, saving a little to pipe on top. Decorate with marzipan hearts or any garnish of your choice.
