Oh, let me share our family’s little secret – chocolate cake holds a sacred place in our hearts. We adore it so much that it graces our table on every occasion, be it family meals, birthdays, or even just tea parties. It’s like a heavenly ritual we can’t do without!
And there’s a reason why we indulge in it so frequently – this chocolate cake is truly unparalleled, the best we’ve ever had in our entire lives! I’m not kidding; the taste, the texture, everything about it is simply extraordinary. We’ve tasted various chocolate cakes in different places – friends’ houses, restaurants, you name it. But this one… it stands head and shoulders above the rest.
In our family, we have our preferences when it comes to accompaniments. “Crème anglaise” is our favorite way to savor this marvel, adding an extra touch of decadence. However, feel free to get creative and enjoy it with powdered sugar, red fruit, or anything that tickles your taste buds. The possibilities are endless, but one thing is certain – this chocolate cake will forever hold a special place in our hearts and on our table!
Reasons to love this dish:
First and foremost, it’s incredibly easy to prepare – a total breeze in the kitchen! Not only that, but it’s also ultra-quick, saving you precious time and effort.
But the real magic lies in its taste. Prepare your taste buds for an explosion of flavors! This cake boasts a moist and tender texture that practically melts in your mouth. And guess what? You have the power to customize the baking time to achieve your desired level of melt-in-your-mouth perfection.
Another fantastic advantage of this recipe is its storage capability. You can make a batch and have it on hand for several days, allowing you to indulge in a slice of heaven whenever you crave it.
The ingredients :
- 200 g rich dark chocolate
- 190 g soft, creamy butter
- 240 g fine white sugar
- 6 eggs, fresh and full-flavored
- 100 g all-purpose flour T45
- 1 level tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- Optional toppings: custard, red fruit, powdered sugar and more to add a delicious touch.
Instructions:
- Start by melting the dark chocolate and soft butter in a saucepan over very low heat. Mix well until smooth and velvety, then remove the pan from the heat.
- Now it’s time to add the good stuff! In the same order, add the white sugar, eggs, all-purpose flour and unsweetened cocoa powder. Make sure you mix well after adding each ingredient. To avoid lumps, you can add the flour gradually, or sift it through a sieve, to obtain a silky paste.
- Next, prepare your baking tin. If you have a non-stick pan, this is perfect. Otherwise, a traditional mold, generously greased with butter, will do. Pour your succulent batter into the tin, ready to be transformed into a masterpiece.
- Bake your cake at 180°C using the natural convection/static heat mode, with the top and bottom elements activated. Baking time may vary according to your oven and pan size. Baking time should be between 15 and 25 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs for a perfect texture.
