The Chocolate House – Treat

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup hot water
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 1/3 cup white chocolate, grated
• 1/3 cup dark chocolate, grated
• Chocolate shavings, to serve

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch cake pan and line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add the oil, vanilla extract, and hot water and mix until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully remove it from the pan and transfer it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
6. While the cake is cooling, prepare the ganache. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just boiling.
7. Add the grated white and dark chocolate to the saucepan and stir until completely melted and smooth.
8. Pour the ganache over the cooled cake and smooth out with a spatula. Top with chocolate shavings.
9. Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving, to allow the ganache to set.

Verdict

This Chocolate House Treat is the perfect indulgence for any chocoholic. It’s rich, decadent, and oh-so-satisfying. The combination of moist chocolate cake and creamy ganache is a match made in heaven.
