Chocolate Gateau also known as gâteau au chocolat (chocolate cake) in French, is easy to make with a little stirring for lazy home bakers like me. You can decorate the rich and little fudgy cake with a simple dusting of icing sugar or with whipped cream on top with fresh berries. The traditional way of making Chocolate Gateau is made with layers of chocolate sponge and rich ganache cream in between, and topped with chocolate glaze to make it more elegant and impressive to serve for any occasion.
