Okay here we go..
DREEM CAKE RECIPE
This is the ultimate Chocolate Cake you will ever ever have. it consist of FIVE (5) chocolatey and mouth-watering goodness of chocolateeeeeeeee layers. Imagine that!
The Base
For the first layer, you can actually use any moist chocolate cake recipe you are currently using and having. I believe that each of us has our own version of the chocolate cake recipe.
But if you like mine, I am willing to send you a copy over DM.
Chocolate Ganache
Actually, this part too you can do your own. Brace yourself, we have more DIY recipe here! 🤣😉
I knooooooooow you have been making your ganache like forever, so i dont want to ruin what you have been used of having.
There is no secret, I just grabbed mine over google.. sssshhhhhhh! haha..
1 cup chopped chocolate bars
1 cup milk
You can just pour the hot milk over the chocolate bars while you leave it as is at 5 minutes and after you can start stirring it until all the chocolate has been melted.
See! its that easy! hahahahahaha.. How difficult was that?? lol...
Chocolate Gooey or Pudding
You think you have had too much chocolate already??
Ah-uh! We are not done yet. We are still at layer 3.
4T cocoa powder
1 1/2 T cornstarch
1/4 t salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup cream
1 cup milk
1 egg yolk
First, mixed and strain all the dry ingredients in a bowl with the cream and set aside for a little while. Then in a hot pot, heat up the milk (just until you see bubbles on the side). Then temper it first. Yes! control your temper dont let it get to your head and cause madness.. hahahaha... naaahhhh... Pour a little milk over the dry mixture before putting it all back in the pot. You keep stirring until your desired thickness. Set aside and let it cool.
Chocolate Disc
Another DIY recipe!! hahaha i told yah I wasn't kidding at all. You can use any of your favorite chocolate to melt.
1 cup chocolate buttons
1 T butter
I just used milk chocolate, I love the taste of it in my mouth.
When melting chocolates you can either do it over the microwave or double broiler. Whatever is convenient for you is just good.
Cocoa Dust
To topped everything our Dreem cake is the magic dust brought about by the cocoa powder. Nothing fancy.. just that... no cherries! no shaved chocolates! no whipped cream! no whatsoever!
PROCEDURE
Now that you have all the layer parts, what is left now to do is the layering.. of course! silly me!
🤣😂
The base is the moist chocolate cake, start spreading your chocolate ganache over it. Make sure it is levelled up and chill for 30 minutes or more. Once its chilled, topped it this time with the chocolate gooey. Level all areas too to have a smooth surface in preparation for your chocolate disc. Then once you start melting the chocolate, pour it over and spread at once before it starts getting hard again. And finally, if the disc had harden up already, sprinkle the cocoa powder on top.
There you go guys!! I hope I had you drooling as I am typing this. I had made mine less sugary to only have a little guilt of this sinful sweet sweet treat.
Have a Merry Merry Christmas and a Bountiful New Year in 2019!! Wohoooooooo!
Bye 2018!
