Ingredients

Chocolate cake premix- 150 g & Water-1/3 cup +1 tbsp
Oil-1.5 tbsp & Dark chocolate compound-3/4 cup
Milk-1/3 cup & Chilled whipping cream-1 cup
Powdered sugar-2 tbsp & Sugar syrup: 2 tbsp sugar + 1/3 cup of water
Grated dark chocolate-50 g & Golden sugar balls
Edible gold dust & Hot whipping cream-1/3 cup
Closed star shaped nozzle & Golden sugar balls
Oddy Ecobake Brown.

Directions

Take the chocolate cake premix, water, and oil in a bowl and whisk well to make a smooth batter. Line a baking pan with Oddy Ecobake Brown. Pour the batter into the baking pan and tap well.
Cover and preheat a vessel with a wire stand in it for 10 minutes. Bake the cake for 40–45 minutes on a low flame. Let it cool, then unmold it after it has completely cooled.
Melt chopped dark chocolate in milk to make chocolate ganache. Add whipping cream and powdered sugar to a bowl and beat until you get stiff peaks. Add a portion of chocolate ganache to it and beat it to make chocolate cream.
Scrape the top layer of cake and cut the cake into three layers. Place a layer of cake on the cake board, moisten with sugar syrup, and apply chocolate cream. Repeat the process for the remaining layers.
Frost the cake with chocolate cream and even the surface using a scraper. Create swirls on the side using a cake comb. Melt dark chocolate using the double boiler method. Pour this into a silicone mini chocolate mould.
Refrigerate for 10 minutes. Take the mini chocolates out of mould and dust with edible gold dust. Take chocolate ganache in a bowl and mix it with hot whipping cream. Pour this on the cake, covering it and smoothen using a cake comb.
Fill chocolate cream in a piping bag and use a closed star-shaped nozzle to decorate the top of the cake and sides as shown. Decorate with mini chocolates and golden sugar balls as shown.
