How to Make Valrhona Chocolate Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Melt the Valrhona chocolate and butter together in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture until evenly distributed.
  8. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once cooled, frost the cake layers with your favorite chocolate frosting and enjoy!
