Instructions
- Preheat your fan-forced oven to 160 degrees.

- Add the milk and then the eggs to the Thermomix bowl. Blitz 20 seconds/Speed 7.
- Add the flours and Dutch process cocoa to the Thermomix bowl. Combine 30 seconds/Speed 5. Repeat this step if the flour is not completely incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared tin.
- Bake for 60 minutes then cover the tin with foil. Bake for a further 45 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
- Leave the cake in the tin for 15 minutes. Turn the cake out onto a cooling rack.
- For the ganache, place the 200g dark chocolate in the clean Thermomix bowl. Chop 5 seconds/Speed 9.

Notes
- If the sugar does not melt or the chocolate gets stiff after adding the sugars, do not worry; the cake will still work.
- Repeat the flour incorporation step if the flour is not fully mixed in.
