Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 120 milliliters Honey
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 80 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 grams Dark chocolate
- 150 milliliters Heavy cream
- 60 milliliters Honey (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and grease a 6-inch dome-shaped cake mold or a round bowl that is oven-proof.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
Add vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract to the wet mixture, stirring until well combined.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until a smooth batter forms. Avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared mold, ensuring the surface is level. Tap the mold on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the mold for 10 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
To prepare the glaze, chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and honey over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not boil.
Pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped chocolate and let it sit undisturbed for 1-2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Whisk the mixture until smooth and glossy. Allow the glaze to cool slightly, so it thickens but remains pourable.
Place the cooled cake on a serving plate and pour the chocolate honey glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides for a decorative effect.
Let the glaze set for 20-30 minutes before slicing and serving your Chocolate Honey Dome Cake.
