How I make it

Cake

  1. Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C) and line a 12-inch (30 cm) loaf pan with parchment paper.

  2. Beat the eggs and sugar in a mixer until pale and fluffy.

  3. Add the flour, baking powder and baking soda and mix.

  4. Add the butter gradually and mix.

  5. Heat the water and cocoa in a saucepan until the cocoa dissolves (don't let it boil!). Pour into the mixer bowl and mix.

  6. Pour into the pan and bake for 40-45 minutes. Test with a knife to check that it's done.

Ganache

  1. Heat the milk in a saucepan, add the chocolate and stir until melted.

  2. Pour the ganache over the warm cake and let it cool to room temperature.
