A different kind of cake that's easy to make, with just a few ingredients—moist and delicious, you couldn't ask for more. You can use leftover bread from one or more days, or even sandwich bread. The pan used is 9 inches (23 cm), and the soaked bread should fill about half the pan, leaving no gaps.

Steps

1

Arrange the bread slices tightly together, slightly overlapping, in a dish. Pour the milk over the bread, making sure all the top slices are soaked (the bottom ones will absorb the milk that settles). Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C), top and bottom heat if possible.
2

Chop the chocolate into small pieces (I used a mix of chocolate chips and dark chocolate for drinking chocolate). Beat the eggs, sugar (or saccharin), and heavy cream together.
3

Grease the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan. Arrange the soaked bread to cover the bottom and sides of the pan. Sprinkle cinnamon to taste and spread the chopped chocolate evenly over the bread.
4

Carefully pour the beaten mixture over the top. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, until fully set. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan at room temperature.
5

Place the 2 1/2 oz (75 grams) of chopped chocolate into a disposable piping bag. Close the top. Fill a pot with hot tap water and place the piping bag in the water. Heat gently on low just to keep the water warm, turning the bag until the chocolate is melted (about 5 minutes).
6

Decorate the top of the cake with the melted chocolate, then sprinkle with powdered sugar and cinnamon to taste. Serve.

Asturiana, aunque he vivido en diferentes países, retorné a la tierrina. Me aficioné a la cocina desde jovencita, invitaba a mis amigas a merendar y les hacía una tortilla española. Me encanta experimentar, hacer cosas nuevas y la cocina india una de mis preferidas, la adapto a mi manera.
