Basic Gateau au Chocolat without Heavy Cream
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*

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prep: Measure out the ingredients. Separate the egg whites and yolks. Bring the butter to room temperature. Chop the chocolate. Sift the dry ingredients.
- 2
Coat the cake pan with butter and line with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 170°C.
- 3
Melt the chopped chocolate over a double boiler. (If you leave some chunks, you can enjoy the same cake with a bit of a twist).
- 4
Remove from the double boiler and melt the butter into the melted chocolate.
- 5
Add the granulated sugar to the egg yolk and beat until it turns pale and thick.
- 6
Pour the chocolate into the egg yolk and stir.
- 7
Stir the sifted dry ingredients into Step 6. Don't knead the batter, just stir it roughly.
- 8
Add some salt to the egg whites and make the meringue (if any of the tools you use to make the meringue contain oil or water, the egg whites won't foam, so be careful).
- 9
Place 1/3 of the meringue into the chocolate batter and stir together without kneading. Add the remaining meringue using 2 batches. Mix without breaking the air bubbles.
- 10
Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes in an 170°C oven.
- 11
Once you can poke the center with a skewer and have nothing stick to it, it's done.
- 12
After the cake has cooled, remove from the pan. Remove the parchment paper and let the cake cool on a cooling rack. Once it has cooled completely, optionally dust with sugar. Serve.

I wanted to make a gateau au chocolat for people who are dieting and children who are still being weaned onto solid food so I decided to make one with cocoa.Now the recipe calls for 40 g pure cocoa, but you can still use the previous combination of 30 g pure cocoa and 20 g processed cocoa if you'd prefer.I changed the ingredient amounts and steps a little to prevent the cake from shrinking.For Step 2, if the margarine isn't melting into the mixture very well, try mixing it in over low heat.You can line the cake tin with baking paper if you'd prefer.

Dense Gateau au Chocolat Dense Gateau au Chocolat

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.

Rich Gateau au Chocolat Rich Gateau au Chocolat
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.

Cream-free Moist & Rich Gateau au Chocolat Cream-free Moist & Rich Gateau au Chocolat
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 -
Light & Crumbly Gateau au Chocolat Light & Crumbly Gateau au Chocolat
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.

Simple and Rich Gateau au Chocolat Simple and Rich Gateau au Chocolat
I got a lot of egg whites for making macarons. I had too many whites and spent many days trying to use them up. I made a gateau au chocolat that used a lot of egg whites, and managed to make a delicious cake using them.* If you add sugar to the meringue, it will become stiff, and when mixing it with melted chocolate, lumps will remain and the meringue will not become fluffy. This is not good, so make the meringue without sugar.* When warming the ■ ingredients in the microwave at the beginning, heat very lightly and then mix to melt. Please do not heat the ingredients repeatedly. Recipe by +pocopoco+ -
