  5. 50 gramsGranulated sugar
  6. 3Egg yolk
  7. 50 gramsGranulated sugar
  8. 20 gramsCake flour
  9. 40 gramsCocoa powder

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine the chocolate and butter into a bowl over a bain marie. Melt the chocolate and butter.

  2. 2

    Keep the bowl in the bain marie just before use, otherwise it will set.

  3. 3

    Warm the heavy cream to body temperature.

  4. 4

    Put the egg whites in a bowl, beating on low with an electric beater.

  5. 5

    Gradually add the granulated sugar to the egg whites, mixing until firm peaks form. It will be a glossy meringue.

  6. 6

    Chill the meringue in the fridge.

  7. 7

    Beat the egg yolks in another bowl. Gradually add the granulated sugar as you mix.

  8. 8

    Mix until there are no lumps and it's a creamy consistency.

  9. 9

    Now combine Step 1’s chocolate butter and Step 3’s heavy cream to make a ganache.

  10. 10

    Then pour Step 9’s mixture into Step 8's egg yolk mixture and combine.

  11. 11

    Take the meringue out of the fridge and beat on high for about 1 minute.

  12. 12

    Add 1/3 of the meringue into Step 10 and mix with a spatula.

  13. 13

    Now pour this into the bowl with the remaining meringue and combine.

  14. 14

    Sift the flours into the batter and mix until it develops a glossy consistency.

  15. 15

    If you prefer a heavy cake, mix well. But if you prefer a fluffy cake, combine just until no longer floury.

  16. 16

    Preheat an oven to 160℃. Pour the batter into the cake mold.

  17. 17

    Bake for 35-40 minutes.

  18. 18

    This is the cross-section. The piece looks rich and nice!
