How to make a birthday cake
First of all prepare the base by placing the chopped chocolate, milk, butter, sugar in a saucepan and melt over low heat, stirring occasionally. Once melted, remove from the heat and allow to cool.
Then mix the flour together with the cocoa and baking powder previously sifted together.
Finally, beat the eggs with a fork.
Only when the chocolate mixture is fresh, add the eggs and mix with a hand whisk.
Finally add the flours as well. Mix well, mixing perfectly and then pour into a previously greased and floured pan.
Finally, bake in a static oven at 160 ° in the middle part for about 1 hour (attention, the time is indicative and depends on the oven and the mold!)
Always do the toothpick test and if it is too wet, continue cooking. If you see a crust that is too double on the surface, lower the temperature and continue cooking, but don't let it dry too much!
If you are cooking the dough on several discs , the cooking time for each disc will be halved!
Finally, remove from the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack for at least 5 hours. (If you want to see all the photos step by step, see the MUD CAKE article)
About 1 hour before cutting into layers, chop the chocolate and add it to the saucepan where you have boiled the cream for a few minutes. Stir until the mixture is smooth and set aside. It must be shiny, fluid, but at the same time spreadable. It will take about 20 minutes to cool down before getting the right consistency.
In the meantime, you can cut the cake into 3 if you have cooked in a single high mold, otherwise if you have cooked twice, just cut each circle in half to find 4 discs.
Of course, be careful to calculate the height equal to each layer.
Finally, stuff the first layer with about 2 tablespoons of ganache
then place the second disc on the just stuffed disc, stuff it, finally add the last disc.
Finally, transfer the cake onto a serving plate or backsplash, cover with the ganache on the surface that the sides, spreading with a spatula or a knife, making sure to level.
Then clean the bottom and wait for the ganache to solidify a bit to make the decorations. It is important that it becomes soft and fits into a piping bag with a star nozzle. Create roses on the edges or tufts, leaving the center flat and free, to place the birthday candles!
Leave at room temperature (in the fridge it will tend to harden too much)
Yours is ready Birthday cake
In anticipation of holidays, I recommend that you prepare the base the day before and if you want the ganache too. and assemble all the same day. You can heat the ganache over a fire to make it liquefy and then thicken.
Once the cake is made, you can keep it in a dry place at room temperature for about half a day.
Then it should be put in the fridge, where it will harden and therefore you will have to leave it at room temperature before serving
