Since my family loves gateau au chocolat, I researched various recipes that don't require heavy cream and that can be made easily with ingredients already on hand, and came up with this recipe!Stir the meringue so that the air bubbles do not pop. Don't worry so much.The cake will be nice and fluffy if you have it the day it's baked. If you let it sit in the refrigerator for 1 day, it will taste just like the rich gateau au chocolat from a cake shop. Recipe by Rosemary*

I wanted to make a moist and rich gateau au chocolat. Heavy cream has kind of a plain taste, so I used unprocessed milk that I had at home.This is something you can quickly and easily whip up without previous preparation.It's fluffy and flaky when freshly baked, but if you let it sit for a day it becomes super moist.

This is a slightly bitter Gateau au Chocolat for adults.Please be careful not to let the chocolate separate.Make sure the bowls are completely dry. Recipe by OKASI_RISA

This is my first plain gateau chocolat after several trials. I tried with milk chocolate or reduced the amount of sugar...This is quite similar to my green tea gateau chocolat. I like these recipes.Milk chocolate is too sweet for this recipe so use dark chocolate.If you double the quantities you can make a 18-cm round cake but remember it will take about 60 minutes to bake.If you whip the meringue too stiff the resultant cake might rise too much.I recommend you chill overnight and serve the following day! For a 12 cm [4.7 in] round cake tin (for an 18-cm cake, double the quantities). Recipe by Hamumaki

Usually gateau au chocolat tends to be heavy or too moist inside. I wanted to make a more light-textured cake.With less plain flour, you'll have a lighter cake. This has an almost crumbly texture.The key is keep the chocolate mixture warm over a bain marie before mixing with the meringue. It'll be easier to mix with the meringue and will make the batter lighter.I recommend using thick parchment paper for lining the cake tin to prevent the baked cake from sinking too much.Eat with whipped cream on the side.

This is a variation on a chocolate cream recipe.It will turn out fluffy and moist if you follow the meringue steps properly. For 6 servings. Recipe by Akubisu stitch

For Valentine's Day.If you use hot chocolate powder instead of cocoa powder, it'll expand when baking, so only fill up the pan halfway or a little less. Recipe by Bull Baron

I really like rich gateau au chocolat, so I modified the recipe my way.The texture will not turn out right if you over-bake it, so I recommend stopping when a creamy batter comes out when checking with a skewer. If the temperature of the batter goes down, the chocolate will cause the batter to harden, so keep the eggs at room temperature. It is best eaten the next day onward. For 15 cm [5.9 in] round mold.

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

I wanted to eat a rich chocolate cake, but the calories were high, so I wanted to make a healthier way without using any oil.It's rich and creamy, do try to make it.I use a whisk, but you can use a spatula when mixing the powdered ingredients and meringue. Mix well but do not knead.I use a handhold mixer in steps 3 and 5. For 18 cm [7.1 in] round mold. Recipe by nokko.t

I love chocolate, but am sick of eating sweet things. I wanted to avoid making it too sweet, but still have a thick, chocolatey gateau, so I came up with this. It doesn't create too many dirty dishes either, which is a bonus.You don't have to be methodical with sifting and straining, just keep checking to see if it looks right when mixing (･ ･)b.

This gateau chocolat is popular with people who don't like sweet things. I have used this recipe for ten years. You can eat a lot because this cake is very light.By putting the butter in the bowl first before the chocolate you can melt the butter completely over a bain-marie. It's the easy way.I like van Houten cocoa powder because it gives cakes a rich dark colour. For 15 cm [5.9 in] round cake tin. Recipe by Blue poppy
