How do you make Brownie chocolate cake at home? Start cooking with a biscuit. How to make a biscuit? Prepare the products. Take cocoa powder natural, without additives. A Nesquik-type drink won't work. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance, it should become soft. Also take out the egg and milk beforehand to keep them warm to room temperature. Vinegar is needed to extinguish soda, take 6%.

Take a bowl, sift flour and cocoa into it. It is important to sift through the flour to saturate it with oxygen. Then the pastry will turn out to be airy and will rise well when baking. Sifting through cocoa helps break down lumps and also has a better effect on baking quality.

Pour sugar, vanilla sugar (I have with natural vanilla, so dark) and salt into the bowl.

Stir the dry ingredients well with a whisk.

Drive an egg into the bowl. Be sure to wash your eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush. Add the soft butter.

Pour in the milk at room temperature and the vegetable oil. Extinguish the soda with vinegar and add it to the bowl.

Stir the dough. I first began to interfere with the whisk, but then I took a mixer - this method is much more convenient and faster. The dough should become absolutely smooth and uniform.

Grab a baking tin. Line the bottom with baking parchment. I have a detachable form with a diameter of 20 cm. Pour dough into it.

Bake the biscuit in an oven preheated to 155C. Baking times range from 45 minutes to 1. 5 hours. After 40 minutes, start checking the biscuit. If the wooden stick came out of it dry - the biscuit is ready. Remove it from the oven and cool completely. My biscuit is baked for 50 minutes.

Wrap the completely cooled biscuit in cling film and put it in the refrigerator overnight. After such & quot; rest & quot; the biscuit will become softer and more uniform. Therefore, it is better to bake the cake in two stages. Bake the biscuit in advance, and the next day already do everything else.

Prepare the cream products. Mascarpone should be warm, remove it from the refrigerator in advance. But cream, on the contrary, is better beaten cold. Cool them down well. Fat content must be at least 30%. Choose quality and natural cream. For whipping, it is better to take sugar powder, sugar may not completely dissolve in the cream and creak on the teeth. Take dark chocolate, of high quality, with a cocoa butter content of at least 50%.

How to make a cream? Start cooking by preparing the chocolate. Melt it in any way you can. I put the broken chocolate on the pieces in a bowl and melted it in a water bath. Chill the melted chocolate to room temperature.

Whisk the cream until thick. How to beat cream correctly? Beat with a mixer at minimum RPM, gradually increasing the speed. In the process, add the pre-sifted caster sugar to them. How do you know that the cream is whipped enough? The cream mass should maintain its shape and not spread. Stop whipping at this point. Otherwise, the cream will turn into oil.

Add the mascarpone to the bowl with the cream.

Whisk the cheese with cream with a mixer over small revolutions to make a thick, smooth cream.

Add the melted chilled chocolate to the creamy mass. Stir it into the cream with a scapula or whisk. The cream is ready.

Prepare the soak for the cakes. How to make impregnation? Prepare the products. Condensed milk can be bought ready-made or boiled by yourself. Choose quality, proven condensed milk. Without vegetable fats and dietary supplements. The composition should contain only two ingredients: milk and sugar. The taste and quality of the finished dish will ultimately depend on the quality of the condensed milk.

Lightly heat the milk and pour it into the cooked condensed milk. Mix the ingredients until smooth. I came across such a thick condensed milk that I still could not fully stir it. The impregnation turned out with lumps, which did not affect its taste in any way.

Remove the biscuit from the fridge. Cut it into three cakes. My biscuit was not very high, and the corgi came out thin. Rinse each cake with cooked condensed milk impregnation.

Spread the chocolate cream over the soak. There is a lot of cream, you don't have to feel sorry for it.

Rinse the top and sides of the cake with cream, too.

Prepare the icing. Prepare the products for her. Chocolate, as well as for cream, take dark and high quality.

How to make a glaze? Fold all the ingredients for it into a suitable dish and melt in a water bath until completely uniform. Then cool the glaze to room temperature.

Pour chocolate glaze over the cake. Refrigerate it for cooling and stabilization.

Garnish the finished cake as you wish. You can use chocolate, sweets and cookies, you can use cream, fresh berries and mint. Enjoy your meal!
