📝 Ingredients
For the Cake:
200g Milka chocolate (classic or Alpine milk variety)
200g unsalted butter
4 eggs
150g granulated sugar
100g all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
For the Milka Ganache Topping:
150g Milka chocolate
100ml heavy cream
Optional: chocolate shavings or crushed hazelnuts for decoration
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prep the Oven & Pan
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line an 8-inch (20cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
2. Melt the Chocolate & Butter
In a heatproof bowl, gently melt the Milka chocolate and butter together over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir until smooth, then let it cool slightly.
3. Whisk the Eggs & Sugar
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy—about 3–4 minutes using an electric mixer.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Slowly mix the cooled chocolate mixture into the eggs. Then sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt, folding gently until fully combined.
5. Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let the cake cool completely before adding the ganache.
6. Make the Ganache
Heat the cream in a small saucepan just until it begins to simmer (don’t boil). Pour it over the chopped Milka chocolate and let sit for a minute. Stir until silky and smooth.
7. Top the Cake
Pour the ganache over the cooled cake, letting it drip slightly over the sides. Smooth the top with a spatula. Optional: sprinkle with chocolate curls, hazelnuts, or a dusting of cocoa powder.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
