Method of preparation
1
Start by preheating the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Prepare two pans of the same diameter in advance, or you can bake the cake layers alternately
2
Sift the flour: this will ensure the baked goods turn out especially airy. Mix it with cocoa powder and baking powder. Add the brown cane sugar, combining both types into one mixture
3
In a small saucepan, melt the butter: it’s important not to boil it, but to heat it until completely melted. Let it cool slightly and then add the sour cream and water. Beat the eggs separately and combine them with the buttery-sour cream mixture. Add the vanilla extract and mix the base with a spoon. Now start whisking the mixture with beaters, gradually adding the mixture of flour and cocoa. It should be a thick, but not stiff, batter
4
Place the pan with the cake batter into the preheated oven and bake for half an hour. Check for doneness with a toothpick: it should easily go in and come out dry from the cake
5
The finished cake layer should have a rich brown color. Allow it to cool and then start preparing the cream
6
The butter should be soft, so leave it at room temperature. Melt the chocolate: you can use a microwave or a double boiler. Beat the ingredients until you achieve a thick cream with a rich chocolate flavor
7
Alternately spread the layers with the cream and on top. Let it sit for 5-7 hours to allow the flavors to meld
8
The chocolate cake is ready!
