Post by: farfallina on July 20, 2012, 09:02:12 am

Hi everyone

Here is the recipe of the second cake which I made for my husbands birthday besides the New York Cheesecake (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=10568.0)

It took me a while to post it.
Here it is summer time and I am busier than usual.
That's why I am not as active as before

I hope you like it.

Name of Recipe: Easy Chocolate Cake
Number of People: 10-12

Ingredients:

500g fresh cream (cold)
375g cocoa biscuits
75g chocolate chips
Chocolate sprinkles

Chocolate Sauce (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=10655.0)


Preparation:

    Break biscuits into a deep bowl.

    In a clean and dry TM Bowl insert Butterfly, pour cold cream and whip for 4-5 minutes on Speed 3. (Don't go over Speed 3 as you would risk to end up with butter)

    Transfer whipped cream into the bowl together with the broken biscuits and chocolate chips. Mix all with Spatula.

    Cover a cake tin or a bowl with plastic film. Transfer the mixture into the tin.

    Let it cool in the fridge until it is set.
    When set, transfer it into a plate and remove plastic film.

    Pour and spread several spoons of chocolate sauce over the cake until it is all covered. Decorate with chocolate sprinkles. Let it rest in the fridge around 2-3 hours. (Keep the remaining chocolate sauce aside)

    Cut into slices. Transfer into serving plates. Dress slices with the remaining chocolate sauce and serve.


Enjoy...

Thanks cookie, my husband surely enjoyed both of them! ;)

There were many chocolate lovers amongst us so it was a huge success.
Chocolate sauce was a nice addition as well ;)
