The lacasitos cake for children that I share in recipes is delicious, it is much easier than it seems and contains a story that makes it one of the most prominent. On August it was my nephew Martins birthday. MartÃn will always be very special to me because he was my first nephew and from a very baby we had a special link. In addition, 10 years later, he is the only boy and that makes him double special, hehe. The poor man has to deal with only girls, sister and cousins, who have a little. 🙂 Between that and that I turned 10, a round date on which he is already older, I wanted to make a special surprise and for that I devised this birthday cake that I have to say that I had no. I am noticing how I improve and I think that with this cake it was especially noticed by how it was beautiful and how good it was. It requires some time but it is worth it because it is great. So, do not hesitate, keep reading and learn with me how to make a chocolate cake with step by step.

Ingredients to make chocolate cake with lacasitos step by step:
1. First of all, it is important to make some clarifications about the ingredients. Thus, the amount of cocoa together with the flour, make 195 grams, half of the weight of the eggs. On the other hand, cream or milk cream must be very cold. That said, we first prepare the cake following the instructions indicated in the pink cake recipe. When ready, we let it cool at all and, meanwhile, we start preparing the rest of things.
2. To make the syrup we heat the water with the sugar in a saucepan. When it comes to a boil we add the essence of vanilla and let it boil 1 more minute. Then we remove it from heat and let it cool.
3. To prepare the mounted cream or whipped cream, we need the cream to be very cold (at least 24 hours in the fridge). We beat with the rods first at not very high speed and we add the sugar little by little and raise the speed. At maximum speed we beat until the rods leave marks in the cream and the cream attached to the rods do not fall from these.
4. When the cake is cold, we cut it in half in a transversal way to obtain two plates. Yes it has been a bit pointed, as happened to me, you also cut the surface a bit so that it is flat. This surface can be used to make Cake Pops, for example.
5. To mount the chocolate and lacasitos cake, we soak the first cake plate with the syrup. Next, we put a generous layer of mounted cream or whipped cream. The filling can be adapted to the taste of the honoree or the diners, so that if the guests do not like cream, you can opt for truffle, for example, or jam.
6. We put the other sponge cake on and also pump it by the part we have cut to match the height. The birthday chocolate cake is already mounted and only add the chocolate ganache and decoration.
7. To prepare the chocolate ganache we heat the cream in the microwave about 4 or 5 minutes, so that it is hot but does not boil. We chop the chocolate and place it in a bowl. Then we add the hot cream on top, leave a minute to heating the chocolate, stir to finish melting it and obtain a homogeneous mixture. When we are ready, we let it cool about 15-20 minutes. It has to be dense but fluid enough to be able to throw it over the cake and cover it well.
8. When the ganache is ready, we will throw it over the chocolate cake carefully, trying to make it as homogeneous as possible. Then we put the cake in the fridge to cool and finish hardening this chocolate layer. We repeat this operation several times to get a good and homogeneous ganache layer. It should not be very thick but homogeneous. I repeated the process three times because my ganache was liquid. If you are densely before throwing it, surely with 2 times, even one, it will be enough. You will see that yourself.
9. If we have had to cut the surface of the layer above the sponge cake to match, when we will avoid throwing it through this area. We will wait for something denser to pour it here. Thus we will prevent the cake from being absorbed. We just want to be above, as another layer.
10. Finally, when the cake is cold, with the already hardened ganache, we go on to decorate with the lacasitos (this step you can also do it just before serving). The decoration of the lacasitos cake for children is to taste, so that you let your imagination fly!
11. As you can see, it is a birthday cake that requires some time but is not especially complicated. It is delicious, very beautiful and children will love. My nephew MartÃn was delighted and I, therefore, also: if you liked the chocolate cake recipe with lacasitos step by step, do not forget to go through my blog target = _blank relic = nofollowmin cooking to see more recipes from great cakes.
