A dense, ultra-smooth chocolate cake made with 8 egg yolks for a rich, almost fudge-like texture. Uses a gradual mixing method for a silky batter and even bake. No added water or salt—just pure chocolate flavor.

Tips

Note 1 (Optional)
For a flat top, gently press the warm cake with a sheet pan until level. If smaller, use a glass. If it rose too much, press evenly until flat.

Note 2 (Necessary)
If a toothpick comes out with batter, cover and return to the oven. Bake in 5-minute intervals until it comes out clean or with moist crumbs.

Note 3 (Optional)
Use leftover egg whites for strawberry cake, double chocolate caramel cake, or my meringue cookies: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/eng/recipes/25588289

Heyooo! I’m Sienna, although I’m skilled and ambitious I consider myself an amateur baker 🍰✨So far, I’ve only made 12 cakes so far, but I’ve made lots of other treats like macarons, muffins, cupcakes, meringues, meringues and meringues… (yes, lots of meringues 😔). I’ve made them more times than I can count!I use AI to help put my recipes into proper format because I’m still working on my grammar and spelling🥲—but I promise that if any ideas aren’t mine, I’ll always mention it in the recipe 😊Thanks for stopping by, and happy baking! 😝
