Chocolate Cake

A single small chocolate sponge, dark and tender from cocoa and melted butter, finished with a thin glossy ganache. Baked in a 10 cm tin so one person gets a proper cake rather than a slice of someone else's.

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C (160C fan, gas 4). Rub a 10 cm loose-bottomed cake tin or a 300 ml ovenproof dish with a little of the butter and line the base with a disc of baking paper.
  2. Sift 40 g of plain flour, 10 g of cocoa powder, 0.5 tsp of baking powder and 1 pinch of fine salt into a bowl — sifting matters, cocoa clumps — then whisk in 40 g of caster sugar.
  3. In a jug, whisk 1 egg until loose, then whisk in 50 ml of whole milk, 12 g of melted butter (cooled to just warm) and 0.25 tsp of vanilla extract until evenly combined.
