How to Make Chocolate Walnut Ring
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 23cm deep fluted ring tin.
- In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and ¾ cup packed brown sugar to the dry ingredients.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup milk, and ½ cup melted unsalted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients.
- Using an electric mixer, beat on low speed for 3 minutes, then increase to high speed and beat for another 5 minutes, or until the batter is smooth and fluffy.
- Gently fold in 1 cup chopped walnuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared ring tin and smooth the top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- **To make the chocolate ganache:** Combine 1 cup heavy cream and 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a small saucepan.
- Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
- Pour the ganache over the cooled cake.
- Decorate with chocolate curls and powdered sugar, if desired.
