How to make an EPIC Chocolate Fudge Cake (Bruce Bogtrotter-style) 100% naturally plant-based

[@blinkgirl119]

Loved watching this video, thanks for sharing. Refreshing to watch a tutorial that doesn’t edit all mistakes, and shows the true amount of time and effort to get the final look just right. Will defo give a try.

[@philkhoury]

Why thank you!!!

[@harumishirai]

Made this for my daughter’s first birthday party yesterday and it was a massive hit with absolutely everyone. A great first cake for her! ❤ Can’t recommend enough! Also the video was so helpful along with the recipe. Can’t wait to make more from this book!

[@exhit99]

Thank u for showing the method! Thank u for using simple tools that we have at home. Makes me more motivated to bake! I borrowed ur book from the Library, but I am going to buy one because it is such an amazing book! Thanks, again, Philip!

[@theflavourly]

Nice recipe! Will try it soon.

[@callumgreig2379]

Hey, did you ever get around to making it?

[@sarahnaidoo2759]

My 2 favorite treats 😊❤

Is it possible to make the ganache with vegan white chocolate??

[@Hyerin9]

Amazing! But I sure was waiting for you to cut a slice and do a cake inside reveal for some reason lol

[@clhs98lau39]

I am a bit naughty here, but just wondering if I wish to put dairy milk instead of plant based milk to my ganache, is that possible? Keeping the same ratio am I right?

[@rjwalanthi]

Haven’t tried this recipe (yet!), but I made his two tone chocolate cake and the mousse there is a similar chocolate + milk + sugar situation. Used dairy milk and it was incredible!

Hi Phil, your book is the work of a true pro' thanks! I run a small Bakery near Bristol and would love to try this cake mix in straight sided muffin sized silicone moulds. Do you think it is sufficiently 'sturdy' to hold together in a small format? Many thanks, Karen

[@philkhoury]

Great to hear! I think it could certainly work by you may need to try a small batch first. Will definitely work if you are using paper liners

[@KarenShaw-k2s]

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply, I really appreciate it. Will give a small batch a try tomorrow and report back! Thanks again.

No measurements provided???

[@beyiTV]

Lol you have to buy the book for that 😂 but you should it's a good one.

[@chrissiestorey5181]

Just look up a similar recipe online.. his trying to sell something that’s not exclusive. Bit cheeky really 😂😂

[@sgspencers]

There’s an article on ITVX that has the measurements

[@fynnwillis384]

This looks amazing! Just one thing, how do you remove the finished cake from the turntable without damaging it? I'm a baking newbie 😂

[@legionofsentientcells]

Take a clean, long palette knife and slip it underneath the cake bottom. (There should always be a round cardboard for the cake to sit on so that it’s separate from the turntable. In this case, he used the bottom of the springform pan.) Using your palette knife, lift the edge of the cake high enough to slip your fingers underneath the cake and by that point, you can lift the cake up with your hands.

[@libbydavies6085]

Use a cake board on the turntable; it'll be easier and a better finish. Don't keep the bottom of the cake tin on the cake! Also, have bigger bowls!!! Don't use silly little bowls like he did.

[@fynnwillis384]

​@@legionofsentientcellsthanks 😊

Hi, hoping to try this recipe as my wife is diary free. What is your suggestion for the dairy free milk for the ganache?

[@philkhoury]

Hope you got to make this! I like soy but any plant based milk drink will work well with this recipe

[@Moon-us6ls]

No Egg?

[@yanetpapo8824]

No quantities of yhe ingredients? That doesnt work, no matter how good it nay look, !

[@shmoopy1999]

I was hoping to see something new here, but this seems to me like the usual vegan chocolate cake i have baked different recpies of, several times. Each time it comes out too dense, crumbly and falling apart

[@philkhoury]

It’s had some amazing feedback (including Ottolonghi who called it his favourite bake in the book) It is rich but doesn’t fall apart and the ganache is a wonderful consistency that doesn’t split when spread or worked/piped. Hope you’ll try it and let me know! Harrods shared the recipe from my book here. www.harrods.com/en-gb/stories/easy-vegan-dessert-recipes-philip-khoury

[@shmoopy1999]

thanks for the reply, im intrested! and sorry for being a bit pessimistic, i shouldnt have assumed without trying. regardless, i will give it a go! also, thank you for contributing to modern plant based dessert making. ive had the oppertiunity to try the dawn of a new day and it was sooo delicious!

[@philkhoury]

@@shmoopy1999 that’s ok! I can imagine there are lots of crappy recipes!

[@kalavani2738]
