My Secret Gateau au Chocolat

I wanted to make healthy sweets for my mother who loves chocolate. The taste comes from a friend who made a chocolate cake with nuts for me a long time ago. I was going to eat it a little at a time, but it was so delicious I ended up polishing it off all at once, haha. This really is a recipe I don't want to tell anyone else.
This is a healthy snack with a modest sweetness without heavy cream.

Don't boil the milk. I also recommend not using low-fat milk for the best rich taste. For the meringue add some sugar, whip into a fine foam, and then add sugar again…repeat this process. Once it forms peaks and it's firm enough not to fall out of the bowl if turned upside-down it's just right. If you mix in a scooping motion from the bottom of the bowl upwards this keeps the meringue intact. I recommend non-sweet, bitter cocoa. Recipe by pink.lemonade

    Divide the meringue into 3 parts and add bit by bit to the pot from Step 2. Mix with a spoon. For the first part mix well, but for the second and third parts mix lightly.

  4. 4

    Once everything has been mixed together it'll look like this. Now pour into a pan lined with baking paper, top with the chopped nuts, and cook in your preheated oven at 180°C for 10 minutes, then at 170°C for 15 minutes.

    Top with the powdered sugar and it's complete.
