The Perfect Chocolate Cake by Chef Dominique Ansel

[@sarikakurup4240]

That's years of practice n perfection... that's ultimate...clean....neat... That's respect!

[@tanyaverma1216]

he made a chocolate cake and a chocolate ganache without a spot on that sweater. I'm amazed

[@Miski_Mariam]

the tecnique is mise en place xD

[@chrisdewianggraeni521]

while mee ... 🙈

[@HenJack-vl5cb]

It is the part of being french-cashmere in the kitchen !!!

[@marmar476]

Your description on how to make the cake is completely different to how you showed on the video, also the cake that yoy took out of the refrigerator was completely smooth, not the same cake as you put in or maybe you cleaned it up after the video, love seeing vidwoa of how cakes are made but tgey should be the same as as your description because its confusing

[@marmar476]

You only saw parts of the video its been clipped so he probably did its impossible to make any cake without a little at least getting on our clothes or hands lol

[@roibee2208]

His fiancé was very helpful She asked all the questions i wanted to ask

[@kcet1948]

Without this video, I would not have been able to enjoy the book more. This video makes the book easy to follow. Please continue to provide more videos from the book recipe.

This is the best chocolate cake recipe ever. It is incredibly simple, and the cake turns out absolutely delicious.

[@meowmao8786]

Don't watch this when laying in bed at night..makes me feel like,, go bake this is what you need in life right now! #quarantinecravings #starving

[@lisaanderson135]

Magnifique! I love how you use ganache as the glaze instead of a gelatin based mirror glaze, which I find to be unpleasant.

[@vedsahasrabhojanee97]

Yeah same

[@Bikuriya]

Had a chance to make this cake over the weekend, recipe and the cake itself is dope... my family loved it. thank you for sharing this recipe

[@elnino4445]

I tried it. It was amazing. I added cream cheese frosting to the cake. Wow. Thank you. It only needs 30 mins.

[@councilmandoug808]

Awesome! I was thinking of doing the same with some orange zest in the frosting and some orange syrup to soak the cake.

[@gbaykal]

30 minutes in oven?

[@elnino4445]

@@gbaykal Yes. I baked mine at 170 Celsius or 338 Fahrenheit on the middle rack. I turned on top and bottom heat. Make sure to preheat your oven for 10 minutes.

[@gbaykal]

@@elnino4445 Did you get a dome when you baked it?

[@elnino4445]

@@gbaykal I did get a dome in the first 20 minutes but I rotated the cake in the last 10 minutes to get more even temperature and the cake came out flat

[@Hollis_has_questions]

His technique is perfect! He is very relaxed, probably because this is the millionth time he’s done this. Practice makes perfect. It’s unfortunate for me that I don’t like chocolate when it’s this concentrated. I do love his Chocolate Crunch PB Mousse Cake in a Ganache Robe. But if you love chocolate, then this the cake for you. Slice it perfectly and consume it with reverence. Props to the great Dominique Ansel! ❤

[@jayantjolly]

No wonder this man is the world's most famous pastry chef!! Every step from mixing to cutting and then spreading chocolate was perfection!! I could not even think of cutting the cake like he does without messing the whole thing. I guess years of practice and passion for your craft makes you exceptionally good!!

[@elfr3032]

WOW that’s looks beautiful!!

[@fo0l913]

“My fiancé whose filming reminded me that I have never baked a cake for HER.” Well, guess that finally clears that up.

[@tuhuellanumerologica4414]

I love this tutorial, simple and the most beautiful thing is that your eyes, your face’s expression shows how much in love you are. Just wonderful. Lots of blessings for you and your fiancé. Big hug from Dominican Republic.

[@LordFurquan]

Made this choclate cake, was super simple, tasted awesome! The ganache was a bit tricky since it was my first time making it but turned out pretty well. Added raspberries to the layes and top of the cake made it even more delicious. Would reccomend people to give this a try.

OMG. This is just perfect 😲😲👌👌

[@stuartyap8472]

chef if the cake isn't eaten right away, wouldn't the glaze cool down and becomes as if the cake just has a very thick frosting since it's used from the same ganache? thx

Excellent!! One question: Is there a reason you mixed by hand rather than using a mixing machine?

[@gettem6341]

not everyone has a mixing machine, they still want to bake

[@Adashki]

Maybe so as not to overwork the batter? It's easier to have control if you do it by hand.

[@ipshitasaha123]

I’d be grateful, if I can get answers to the following questions, because I want to desperately make this for my sos birthday. 1. Can I replace AP flour with GF flour? 2. Can I replace butter with olive /avocado oil?

[@Adviengturous]

Hello, as what I have read, if the recipe says USE BUTTER, just use butter, not oil. They have different result. Butter is a solid fat which results to creaminess and oil is a liquid fat.

[@kaziummi533]

😊😊😊

[@thebadger9302]

Butter is better than any oil. It adds moisture and flavor.

[@natashap968]

Hi chef..Thanks for the recipe.. Is it same amount of sugar and flour because in the description it says 220 gram flour and 300 grams sugar but in cup measurement it is in equal amounts(1.5 cup)..which one is correct?
