I wanted to make delicious chocolate cakes that would satisfy chocolate maniacs. After many tries, I finally made this delicious cake and my friends love it. They asked me to make this all the time now.

Steps

60 mins

1

Cut the chocolate and butter into small pieces and put into a heatproof dish with the heavy cream. Cover with cling film and microwave (at 500W for 2 minutes). After the mixture starts to melt, stir well. You don't have to worry about separation at this point!
2

Add 30 g of granulated sugar to the egg yolks and whip until fluffy.
3

Add Step 1 to 2 and stir well. Sift in the cocoa powder and flour and stir well.
4

In a separate bowl, add the egg whites. Add the 100 g of granulated sugar in 3 batches and beat until soft peaks form.
5

Divide the egg whites into 2 batches and add it to the chocolate mix one batch at a time. For the first batch, stir well and fold in the rest gently.
6

Pour the batter into a cake tin lined with baking paper and bake in the pre-heated oven to 170°C for about 30 to 40 minutes.
7

Note: The cake expands a lot right after baking! After leaving to rest overnight, it will sink about 5 cm. You will enjoy a crispy outside and moist inside delicious cake.
8

With less sugar: Use 70 g of sugar (for egg yolks) + 30 g (for egg whites) for a less sugar cake.
9

With Brandy: You can add brandy to the less sugar version. It'll be an adult spin!
