Best chocolate cake

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

  1. Preheat the oven to 200º. Line a round springform pan with parchment paper. Grease with butter. Reserve.

  2. Melt the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a bain-marie. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.

  3. 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.

  4. 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!

  5. Meanwhile, make the coffee cream. Just mix all the ingredients in a bowl and beat well.

  6. Serve the cake accompanied by coffee cream or Greek yogurt.
