Chocolate cake recipe

choco cake
Ingredients:

  • 5 eggs
  • 12 g sugar
  • 5 tablespoons flour
  • 1 baking powder
  • 1 vanilla sugar
  • 20 grams of margarine
  • 20 ounces dark chocolate

For the chocolate coating:

  • 7  dl heavy cream
  • 30 ounces dark chocolate

Method of preparation:

  1. Separate the yolks form whites. Beat the egg whites along with butter and chocolate chopped into cubes.
  2. With an electric mixer, mix the egg yolks with sugar and vanilla sugar; mix well until you get foamy mixture. Gradually add flour mixed with baking powder and melted chocolate with butter.
  3. At the end, stirring with spoon add the beaten egg whites.
  4. Pour the mixture in baking pan dusted with flour and bake in preheated oven at 175°C for 30 minutes. The pan I used was with 40×42 dimensions, I prefer to use baking pan with this dimension for this kind of cakes.
  5. Meanwhile, while the crust is being baked, in a pot heat the sour cream which you’ll need to make the whipped cream; add grinded chocolate in the sour cream.
  6. This mixture mustn’t boil. It enough to stir it on low heat until the chocolate dissolves and until the mass is equable and become completely homogenous with dark color.
  7. This process depends of the type of the chocolate; sometimes only a few minutes are enough for the chocolate to dissolve, while yesterday I had to wait 10-15 minutes until the mixture became completely equable and homogenous.
  8. Pour the prepared dark cream over the crust, while it is still hot.
  9. First cool the cake at room temperature and after that put it in refrigerator.
  10. You can choose what you’ll use for decorating the cake, it all depends of your creativity and imagination.
  11. Serve the cake cut into cubes, on dessert plate. This cake perfectly fits when it’s served with cup of coffee or cocoa.

Enjoy!
