  • Next, add the cream. 
  • Finally add the Guanaja 70% dark chocolate and melted butter. 
  • Pour the batter into the molds lined with baking paper, then use a buttered scraper to make a cut lengthwise up the cake to aid the baking process. 
  • Bake at 320°F (160°C) for about an hour. Check the cake is fully baked by inserting a knife into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
