Ingredients
For the Brownie Cake:
- Unsalted butter – 100 g
- Dark chocolate – 100 g
- Sugar – 80 g
- Eggs – 2
- All-purpose flour – 40 g
- Cocoa powder – 15 g
- A pinch of salt
- Vanilla extract – 1 tsp
For the Whipped Cream Topping:
- Heavy cream – 200 ml
- Powdered sugar – 20 g
- Vanilla extract – 1/2 tsp
- Chocolate chunks or Ritter Sport squares (for topping)
- Chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
1. Make the Brownie Cake Base
- Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F).
- In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate together using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals. Stir until smooth.
- Add sugar and mix well.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking quickly after each to avoid cooking the egg.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
- Sift in the flour and cocoa powder. Gently fold until just combined—don’t overmix.
- Pour the batter into a lined rectangular or loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for about 25–30 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly soft.
- Let the cake cool completely before adding the topping.
2. Make the Whipped Cream
- In a cold bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
- Transfer to a piping bag with a star or ribbon tip.
3. Decorate
- Once the brownie cake is cooled, pipe the whipped cream in beautiful swirls across the top.
- Top with squares of Ritter Sport or your favorite chocolate, and finish with a sprinkle of shaved chocolate for that final touch.
- For an extra fudgy texture, don’t overbake!
- You can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the brownie batter if you like some crunch.
- Chill the whipped cream for 10 minutes before piping—it holds its shape better.
🍫 Q: Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?
Sure! Milk chocolate will give a sweeter and creamier result, but the brownie might lose a bit of its deep fudgy richness. Still delicious, though!
🧁 Q: How do I know when the brownie cake is done?
Check at the 25-minute mark—if the center is set but still a bit soft, you’re good! You want it fudgy, not dry.
🎂 Q: Can I make this ahead for a party?
Absolutely! Bake the brownie a day ahead, chill it, and whip the cream fresh before serving. It actually tastes even better the next day!
This brownie cake is rich, creamy, and totally Instagram-worthy. Whether you're serving it at a party or enjoying it with a cup of coffee, it's guaranteed to win hearts. That thick brownie layer combined with fluffy whipped cream? Just perfection.
