Ingredients
- 300 g of your favorite vanilla-flavored cookies crushed
- 150 g chopped walnuts
- 100 g granulated white sugar
- 80 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 10 g vanilla-flavored sugar or 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 400 ml whole milk
- 100 g unsalted butter
- 200 g high-quality dark chocolate roughly chopped
- 20 ml neutral-tasting oil such as canola or sunflower
Instructions
- Start by lining a cake mold with plastic wrap or parchment paper for easy removal after the cake sets.
- In a large bowl, mix the crushed vanilla cookies with the chopped walnuts. Set this aside.
- Combine the milk, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla sugar (or vanilla extract) in a saucepan. Heat the mixture on medium heat, stirring constantly until it is well-combined and the sugar has dissolved.
- Add the butter to the saucepan and continue stirring until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the warm chocolate mixture over the crushed cookies and walnuts, and mix well until every piece is coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared cake mold, pressing down firmly to create an even layer.
- Melt the dark chocolate with the vegetable oil either in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring frequently to ensure it’s smooth and glossy.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the cake base, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover the entire surface.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or until it is set and firm.
- Once set, remove the cake from the mold and peel away the plastic wrap or parchment paper.
- Slice and serve chilled for the best taste experience. Enjoy your sumptuous Chocolate & Walnut Delight Cake!
