Making Dark Chocolate Cake Tastes Like Starbucks Bakery

---

---

I just miss Starbucks' chocolate cake, it's been so long and I'm curious why it tastes so different from other bakeries. It's so difficult to get and the price is also quite expensive for me. Beside, I don't have much money to buying, the Starbucks outlet is also quite far and it will take a long time to get there.

I don't know why, when a woman is on period, why do she want something sweet, it's like I can hold back my appetite for food when I'm on a diet and everything be ruined when my period comes. So, when you are on a diet, trying to lose weight then it should be long before menstruation. I think it's the body's automatic performance to make your body better hormonally.

_{Craving Chocolate Cake But My Mixer Was Broken}

---

I tried to resist wanting Starbucks chocolate cake but I had enough of holding back for 1 week, finally I tried to make it myself. Please know that I'm also unlucky because while trying to make croissants last night, my mixer broke and that made me sad. How can this mixer be so frail and helpless, even though it's not that old? This mixer attend me for 2 years and I rarely use it.

That's why this time I made it without a mixer, it just made my hands sore from beating the eggs. But, I think even if you only beat for 5 minutes using a whisk, it doesn't make your hand muscles look bigger, it just gets a little tired and burns a few calories which you will use when eating the cake when it's finished.

Chocolate Cake No Mixer_{The Recipe}

Ingredients:

Making this chocolate cake is not that difficult. In fact all the ingredients are available in my kitchen and this is the last remnant of my savings. I use everything very well, I think this is a good way to anticipate all ingredients being wasted and expired.

There are several ingredients that I got in the kitchen set and I have also measured them all to make chocolate cakes like brownies which will be very delicious.

• 115 gr Chocolate couverture 54%
• 50 gr chocolate chips
• 78 gr wheat flour
• 40 gr dark chocolate powder
• 110 gr sugar
• 150 gr butter
• 3 eggs
• Vanilla extract

How to make chocolate cake:

• I hope that those of you who are going to make this chocolate cake really measure everything carefully, so that the cake becomes a delicious cake and tastes as expected. Firstly, mix the butter with 54% couverture chocolate, you can use 70% to make it taste more chocolatey. I only had the 54% and it was already incredibly delicious.

---

• After mixing, melt it using a double boiler, where you boil the water first, then put another pan on top and everything will melt in a few moments. When everything has melted and become one, wait a few minutes for the butter and chocolate to cool slightly.

---

• Beat 3 eggs and sugar, beat using a whisk for 5 minutes, the texture of the eggs becomes more liquid and foamy, changes color to pale yellow.

---

• I also weighed the flour and chocolate, then sifted them so they wouldn't clump when mixed.

---

• Mix all the ingredients, stir with a whisk but slowly and not too long. Just until everything is mix perfectly. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top. You can also add almond slices. But I don't have them in my kitchen.

---

• Pour the mixture into the baking pan. I used a baking sheet lined with baking paper without adding butter on the surface. Then compact all corners of the pan.

---

• Previously you have to preheat the oven 15-20 minutes before the baking sheet into the oven. Bake the dough for 30-40 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.

---

• Chocolate cake is ready to be serve with coffee or tea as a complement to your dessert!

See you the next time hive friends!
