Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a cake pan with parchment paper.
2
Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then beat in the eggs one at a time.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, until just combined.
4
Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. While the cake is baking, prepare the punch layer.
5
Melt the dark chocolate and heavy cream together in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler), stirring until smooth. Stir in the punch flavoring extract. Let cool slightly, then spread evenly over the partially baked cake base.
6
Pour the remaining batter over the chocolate layer and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the cake is fully baked and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7
Let the cake cool completely before decorating with chocolate shavings or a punch-flavored cream.
