Viral Dubai Chocolate Bar Cake

The viral Dubai chocolate bar is all over social media and I totally understand why! There are so many videos of people breaking it open to reveal the bright green creamy pistachio butter and filo filling which of course caught my eye. Now unfortunately I cannot travel to Dubai right now to try it so I thought the next best thing would be to turn it into a cake version.

What does this viral Dubai chocolate bar inspired cake taste like?

This cake tastes just like the Dubai chocolate bar in cake form. It has all the same elements with an edition of chocolate cake. So obviously we all know what chocolate cake tastes like, but unless you have tried pistachio butter it’s hard to explain. Also the filling has crispy toasted pieces of filo pastry mixed in with the pistachio butter which creates an insane texture experience in your mouth. I love the filling and could happily eat it by itself.

Now pistachio butter is one of my obsessions, it’s just so delicious! This is the brand that I use here, I get it on Amazon and I think the quality is top tier. It’s so creamy and tastes amazing with chocolate desserts like this cake.

The toasted filo is so easy to make, just shred 3 sheets into small pieces or chop up using a knife. Add 1 tsp of butter in a sauce pan and toast the filo until crispy and golden.

Instructions

Chocolate fudge cake

  • Line the bottom of three 6” cake tins.
  • Melt the butter and the chocolate together in the microwave.
  • Into the same bowl add the vegetable oil, caster sugar, soft light brown sugar and vanilla extract. Mix together until all the ingredients are combined.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, mix until combined.
  • In a separate bowl add the flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder. Sift into the wet ingredients.
  • Pour 1/3 of the boiling water over the cake batter, stir using a spatula until just combined. Repeat until all the boiling water has been mixed into the batter. (do not over mix)
  • Pour the cake batter into three 6" cake tins. Bake for 20 mins at 170c. The cakes should still be fudgy inside when you remove them from the oven.

Filo pastry & pistachio cream filling

  • Cut 3 sheets of filo pastry into small pieces.
  • Melt 1tsp of butter in a sauce pan on medium heat, add the filo pastry.
  • Heat the filo pastry until it becomes crispy and golden brown (do not burn)
  • Set aside to cool.
  • Mix in the pistachio cream, cover with a plate or cling film until ready to assemble the cake.

Chocolate ganache

  • Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and put into a bowl.
  • Heat the cream on its own in the microwave for 1 minute. Once hot and bubbling, pour over the chocolate.
  • Let it sit for 1 minute, then stir to combine.
  • Stir in the golden syrup (or syrup of choice)
  • Let the chocolate ganache cool until it becomes a thicker consistency. You can place the chocolate ganache in the fridge to speed up the process but do not let it set hard.

Assemble

  • Once the cakes have cooled, cut the tops of each cake to make them flat.
  • Add some of the chocolate ganache in a piping bag, pipe a ring around the 1st cake layer.
  • Add half of the filo pasty & pistachio cream filling in the middle.
  • Repeat with the 2nd cake layer. 
  • Turn the 3rd cake upside down and place on top.
  • If the remaining chocolate ganache is too firm to spread on the cake, heat in the microwave for 5 seconds. 
  • Add 3-4 large spoonfuls of the remaining chocolate ganache on top of the cake, make an even layer on top with a spatula, then spread the excess over the side of the cake.
  • Add more chocolate ganache to the sides of the cake, use the spatula to cover the entire cake.
  • To finish the cake, make a messy pattern in the chocolate ganache using the spatula.

Heya this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
