I wanted to make a moist chocolate cake.

Powdered sugar, instead of cocoa powder, is also nice as a finish. Recipe by Akito mama

Steps

1

Sift the flour and cocoa powder. Separate the egg yolks and whites. Preheat the oven to 160°C.
2

Finely chop the chocolate. Melt together with the butter in a double boiler.
3

Make a meringue with the egg whites by adding 10 g of sugar in 3 batches, whipping until stiff peaks form.
4

In a separate bowl, cream the egg yolks and 20 g of sugar until white.
5

Whisk cocoa powder into the chocolate mixture. Combine well. Add the creamed egg yolks from Step 4, as well as the rum. Mix again.
6

Whisk 1/3 of the meringue into the batter. Then change to a rubber spatula and fold in the remaining meringue in 2 batches.
7

Use a fold-and-cut motion to combine the flour.
8

Pour into a mould, smoothing the surface with a rubber spatula. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes.
9

After the cake has cooled down, remove from the mould and sprinkle on cocoa powder with a tea strainer.
10

Double the amount of ingredients if you're planning to use a 18 cm mould. The baking time is the same. Powdered sugar was used as a topping here.

When giving this as a gift, presenting it on a lace paper dolly wrapped in a cellophane bag prevents the cake from losing its shape.
