For the Cake
Dry Ingredients
All Purpose Flour 1 Cup
Unsweetened Cocoa powder - 4 Tbsp
Sugar - 1/2 Cup
Baking Powder - 1.5 Tsp
Baking Soda - 3/4 Tsp
Wet Ingredients
Sweetened Condensed Milk - 1 Cup (you can easily split 1 Can for the cake and ganache)
Vanilla extract - 1.5 Tsp
Water - 3/4 Cup
Olive Oil - 3/4 Cup
For the Ganache
1 Cup Condensed milk
3 Tbsp Heavy Cream
Unsweetened Cocoa powder - 4 Tbsp
Instructions for cake
Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Mix all the Dry Ingredients together. Add the wet ingredients to the dry mix. I use a cake mixer to allow air into the cake mix. Spoon into a baking dish and bake.
9 inch round cake pan takes about 30-35 Minutes. Cup Cakes take about 10-12 minutes. Check the done-ness by inserting a toothpick into the center. I should come out clean.
For the Ganache
Mix all ingredients. Double boil on stove for 5-7 minutes (or until you see bubbles around the corner).
I cook in microwave for about 3 minutes stirring intermittantly.
Note - The cake actually has very little sugar in it. My family likes it this way.
You could add 3-4 Tbps of Sugar and add a few more minutes of baking time or
Pipe the ganache into the center. to incorporate sweetness into every bite.
This cake goes really well with Ice cream :)
