Today I wanted to share an old recipe of mine...
Who doesn't love a good chocolate cake?! This one is very creamy on the inside. It takes little flour and sugar. The secret is to use good chocolate!
I like to serve it with a coffee cream, but you can omit it if you don't like it, or serve it with Greek yogurt.
I hope you like it ♡.
Serves 6 to 8
For the cake
400 gr of chocolate
125 g unsalted butter
4 eggs
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 tablespoon unbleached flour
For the coffee cream
200 gr of mascarpone
1 tablespoon of coffee powder
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
-
Preheat the oven to 200º. Line a round springform pan with parchment paper. Grease with butter. Reserve.
-
Melt the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a bain-marie. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.
-
Meanwhile, beat the eggs with the sugar in an electric mixer for 10 minutes or until they triple in volume and obtain a very thick mixture. Gently incorporate the flour followed by the melted chocolate.
-
Pour the mixture into the pan and bake for 12 minutes. Remove from the pan and run a knife around the cake. Remove the collar from the pan and place the cake in the fridge to cool for 1 hour - this step is important!
-
Meanwhile, make the coffee cream. Just mix all the ingredients in a bowl and beat well.
-
Serve the cake accompanied by coffee cream or Greek yogurt.
