How to make this One Bowl Chocolate Cake

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 160C (fan) and grease and line a 9” (23cm) springform cake tin.

Step 2

Firstly, make the chocolate ganache frosting as it will need a little bit of time to set. Place the butter, chopped chocolate, and Lyle’s Golden Syrup in a bowl set over a pan with simmering water and allow it to melt (you can also use a microwave). Stir in the cream and mix well until you have a smooth ganache. Refrigerate for about an hour, until the ganache has thickened and has a spreadable consistency.

Step 3

Place the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar in a large bowl and mix to combine. Add the vegetable oil, buttermilk, Lyle’s Golden Syrup, vanilla, and eggs and mix well.

Step 4

Pour the mixture into the cake tin and bake for 55 minutes, or until the skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool

Step 5

Trim the top of the cake if needed, using the serrated knife. Slice the cake in half horizontally.

Step 6

Spread one of the sponges with a little ganache. If using the cream, whip it into soft peaks and spread it into an even layer on top of the ganache. Lay the other sponge on top. Spread the remaining ganache on top and over the sides of the cake. You can also pipe the ganache if you’d like. Decorate the cake with chocolate shavings or some fresh fruit if desired. Slice and enjoy!
