The base is a moist chocolate-almond cake with a creamy milk chocolate ganache. To make the ganache, pour the chopped milk chocolate over the boiled (still hot) cream and stir until smooth after 5 minutes. Since the ganache takes longer to set, you should prepare it first. Cover it with cling film and then refrigerate it. To make this delicious chocolate-almond cake, cream the room-temperature butter with the sugar and vanilla sugar until creamy. Next, add the eggs and mix well into the butter. In the video, you can see what the mixture should look like. Next, it’s time for the dry ingredients: Mix the flour with the ground almonds (or alternatively, one of the other ingredients), the baking powder, the salt, and the unsweetened cocoa powder. Then add the flour to the butter and egg mixture along with the room-temperature milk and stir as briefly as possible until a smooth batter forms. The batter is then filled into a 24cm springform pan and baked at 180°C (fan oven) for 35-40 minutes. The baking time can vary depending on the oven. After baking, the cake should cool completely. Once the ganache is spreadable and the cake has cooled, you can start decorating. To do this, the cake is placed on a cake plate with the bottom facing up (because it is nice and flat). To prevent the cake from sliding around on the plate, a small dollop of ganache directly underneath the cake helps. This way, the entire cake can be covered in ganache. In the video you can see step by step how we decorated our cake.
