How To Make Viral Matilda Cake
- Preheat your oven to 175°C. Grease and flour two 20cm round cake pans, or line with baking paper.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, bicarb, and salt.
- Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla.
- Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the boiling water and coffee mixture.
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes
out clean. - Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate.
- Spread a generous layer of frosting on top. Add the second cake layer and cover the entire cake with frosting.
Ingredients:
- 200g dark or milk chocolate, chopped
- 200g cream
How To Make Chocolate Ganache
- In a small saucepan, heat the cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer — don’t let it boil.
- Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate.
- Let it sit for 2–3 minutes without stirring.
- This gives the chocolate time to soften.
- Using a spatula or whisk, gently stir the mixture from the center outward until the ganache is smooth, glossy, and fully combined.
