Instructions
Prepare The Pan and Chocolate-Butter Mixture
Preheat the oven to 340 degrees Fahrenheit or 170 degrees Celsius.
Grease a 6-inch baking pan with nonstick spray or butter and line it with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, add 100 grams of Dark Chocolate, 1/3 cup of hot whole milk, and 1/4 cup of unsalted melted butter.
Then, whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Add 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and mix again.
Add Dry Ingredients With Chocolate-Butter Mixture
Take a sieve, add 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, and sift to the brownie cake batter.
Sprinkle 1/2 tsp of salt into the batter.
Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
Add Egg Yolks And Vanilla Essence
In a separate mixing bowl, crack 3 large eggs and remove the yolks from the whites.
Then, pour the egg yolks into the chocolate batter.
Add 1 tsp of vanilla essence to the mixture, then whisk all of them until well combined and set aside.
Beat Egg Whites and Sugar
Now, take the bowl of 3 room temperature egg whites you crack earlier.
Pour 1/2 tsp Vinegar into the bowl.
Use an electric beater to beat the egg whites until it’s foamy.
Then add the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
Then, using a spatula, mix some meringue with the chocolate batter you prepared with the whisk.
Then add all the meringue into the batter and fold them by using a spatula until combined.
Bake The Brownie Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool inside the pan for 30 minutes.
Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare The Chocolate Ganache
Place 100 grams of semi-sweet dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
Pour 1/2 cup of hot Heavy cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Stir the mixture with a spoon until the ganache turns smooth and glossy.
Assemble, Garnish, and Enjoy!
Once the cake has cooled completely, then remove the parchment paper and pour the chocolate ganache over the top. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
Top the cake with chocolate shavings and indulge in a rich, decadent brownie cake!
