Truffle Cake - embodies one of the best recipes of French pastry chefs! Mega chocolate and incredibly tasty! For lovers of gourmet chocolate pastries, this is a real find! There are many recipes for this cake, but all are united by the composition, which must include chocolate cakes made from natural dark chocolate. This recipe is based on a chocolate sponge cake with a crumb rich in color and taste with a moist texture.
As a cream for making real truffles, take a characteristic creamy chocolate mixture or chocolate ganache made from melted chocolate with cream. When solidified, the mass turns into a delicate and delicious chocolate cream. To make the name of the dessert justify itself even more, the cake can be decorated with grated sweets or dark chocolate. Then, for sure, you will get a real rich and presentable festive product, where the taste and aroma of chocolate will dominate. Having tasted a piece of such a cake, the divine chocolate taste will remain in your memory for a long time. It is very chocolatey, but not sugary, with a noble bitterness of dark chocolate and a heady cognac flavor.

Step-by-step preparation of Truffle cake layers, recipe with photo:
1. Break the eggshells and pour the contents into a deep bowl, followed by sugar and a pinch of salt.
2. Beat eggs with sugar with a mixer until fluffy, increasing the mass by 3 times and acquiring a lemon color.
3. In a deep bowl, combine room temperature chopped butter and dark chocolate broken into pieces.
4. Melt the butter and chocolate in any convenient way: on a steam bath or in a microwave oven. At the same time, make sure that the food does not boil, otherwise the chocolate will acquire bitterness, which will negatively affect the result of the confection.
5. Stir the melted chocolate and butter until smooth.
6. Combine both masses (chocolate-butter and egg) in one container.
7. Mix the combined two mixtures with a mixer until smooth.
8. Through a fine sieve, add flour sifted through a fine sieve to the food to enrich it with oxygen.
9. Then sift the cocoa powder through a sieve to break up all the lumps.
10. Stir the dough with a mixer at medium speed until smooth.
11. Choose a convenient baking dish. Cover it with parchment and pour the dough evenly over the container.
12. Send the dough to a preheated oven to 180 degrees for 30 minutes. Check readiness with a puncture of a wooden stick, which should be dry without sticking.
13. Remove the cake pan and while it is hot, carefully cut it into 3 Truffle tart layers. Soak it hot with cognac or chocolate syrup and leave to cool. I would like to note that the finished cake is already ready for use, it is very tasty and may not need additional impregnation with cream.
