   How to make a chocolate cake for One Two Three? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance, it should be soft. Take the flour of the highest grade. Milk - any fat content. Wash the eggs and dry them with napkins.

2. Step 2:

   Mix the dry mass gently.

   Pour the dough into a greased baking dish. In consistency, it should be like very thick sour cream. I had a cooking ring without a bottom, but the dough did not leak out when baking. Bake the cake in preheated to 175 °With the oven for about 45-55 minutes (be guided by your oven!). After 20-25 minutes from the start of baking, (be sure after the cake stops growing!), start checking its readiness with a wooden skewer every 5 minutes.

   It is important not to overdo the cake in the oven, otherwise it may become dry or burn. As soon as the skewer is dry, the cake is ready. It took me another 20 minutes (in total, the cake was baked for 50 minutes, but it may take you more or less time, it all depends on the characteristics of the oven). Turn the finished cake upside down on the grill, remove the parchment and cool.

    Cool the ganache to room temperature and add soft butter to it. Stir until smooth.

14. Step 13:

    

    Pour the cooled chocolate cake with ganache, let it grab and then decorate the cake as desired. I have fresh fruits: kumquat, grapes, and mint leaves.
