Ingredients · Servings 8 people
- 150 g chocolat
- 250 g sucre
- 100g flour
- 200g butter
- 1/2 packet of yeast
- 6 egg units
- 50g icing sugar
Method · 15 min
- Preheat your oven to 180°C.
- Melt the chocolate with the butter in a double boiler.
- Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Mix the sugar, yeast, and sifted flour with the yolks.
- Next, add the melted chocolate/butter mixture.
- Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then add them to the previous mixture.
- Butter your cake tin (you can also sprinkle a little sugar on it, to get a slightly caramelized look on the edges) and pour in your mixture.
- Bake for 45 minutes at 180°C (350°F). For the last 10 minutes, cover your cake with aluminum foil to prevent the top from overcooking. To check if it's done, insert a knife into the center of the cake; it should come out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool.
- Once cool, remove the cake from the mold and sprinkle with icing sugar.
