MOIST RICH CHOCOLATE CAKE
EN
Ingredients (for 8 people): 200 g good quality plain chocolate - 150 g caster sugar - 125 g plain flour -
125 g softened butter - 4 eggs – 200 ml liquid cream (whipping cream) - 100 g ground almonds (optio-
nal) - 1 sachet vanilla sugar or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional) - 11g baking powder - 1 pinch salt -
24cm loose bottom non-stick cake tin.
Preheat the oven to 180 °C. In a bain marie or in the microwave oven, melt the chocolate cut into pieces
with 3 tablespoons of water. While stirring, add a tablespoon of the butter to give a smooth chocolate
mixture. Allow to cool. Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Set the egg whites aside. Put the egg
yolks, melted chocolate, cream, sugar, vanilla sugar, ground almonds and the rest of the butter in the
stainless steel bowl fitted with the mixer and the lid. Run on speed 1 for 20 seconds to mix. Increase
to speed 2 and incorporate the flour mixed with baking powder through the opening in the lid. Allow
the appliance to run for around two minutes until a smooth dough is obtained. Set aside in a large
bowl. Put the egg whites and the pinch of salt in the cleaned stainless steel bowl fitted with the balloon
whisk. Whisk the whites on speed 5 for one and three-quarter minutes, then on maximum speed for 30
seconds. Using a spatula, carefully incorporate the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture. Pour
into a buttered, floured cake tin. Cook in the oven at 180 °C for 25 minutes.
Tip: This cake is delicious served with crème anglaise or scoops of vanilla ice cream.
