The origin of this recipe
I thought about making a gateau au chocolat without meringue, which can be difficult, and found it could be delicious just by mixing and baking. Also, I won a cooking sheet monitor, so I created an easy and delicious chocolate dessert for beginners for Valentine's Day.

Steps

1

Place the broken chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl or dish and heat in the microwave until melted. Once melted, mix with a whisk.
2

In a separate bowl, crack the eggs, add sugar, and whisk until slightly pale.
3

Add the melted chocolate mixture and heavy cream to the egg mixture and whisk together.
4

Sift the cake flour and cocoa into the mixture and gently fold with a rubber spatula.
5

Pour the batter into a 6-inch round pan lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 340°F for 35-40 minutes.
6

Insert a skewer; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
7

Once cooled, you can sprinkle with powdered sugar. Letting it sit in the refrigerator overnight enhances the flavor ♪
8

For Valentine's Day, I decorated with heart-shaped strawberries and whipped cream ♪
9

For reference... This is the cocoa and chocolate bar used. Of course, you can use your preferred cocoa and chocolate.

Baking time may vary depending on the oven, so keep an eye on it. Cover with aluminum foil midway to prevent burning.
