Add the 200g of cold heavy cream.
Step 4
Cover with plastic wrap, making sure it touches the surface, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Ideally, leave it to rest overnight.
Step 5
After the resting time, use a mixer to whip the ganache until it thickens.

Whisk the 4 eggs with the sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Add the chocolate/butter mixture.
Step 9
Sift and gradually mix in the flour, baking powder, and unsweetened cocoa powder.
Step 10
Once the batter is smooth, pour it into the pan.
Step 11
Bake at 180°C (355°F) for about 35 minutes. (The cooking time may vary depending on your oven).
