Nagi Maehashi’s selected chocolate-fudge cake combines melted dark chocolate and cocoa in a moist, low single layer. Its dark-chocolate ganache covers the top and sides, giving the cake a rich, fudgy appearance and flavour.

The selected salted butter and dark chocolate chips are melted together. The selected canola oil, vanilla and caster sugar are mixed in before two eggs enter the same bowl.

Plain all-purpose flour, baking powder and the selected natural unsweetened cocoa are sifted into the mixture, with coffee granules optional. Boiling hot water follows, and the thin batter bakes in a greased, parchment-lined springform pan.

The cake cools completely before its base is removed. For the ganache, a separate portion of dark chocolate chips melts with the selected heavy cream; the mixture is stirred smooth and refrigerated until spreadable.

The ganache is spread over the cake’s top and sides, with a spoon used to create a swirled surface. The moist crumb and thick chocolate coating give this version its intense chocolate character.
