The Ultra Gooey Chocolate Cake
21 February 2023
Difficulty:
Equipment:
Perforated baking sheet
18cm Ring
Ingredients:
I used Bahibé and Komuntu chocolates from Valrhona: code ILETAITUNGATEAU for 20% discount on the entire site (affiliate).
Preparation time: 10 minutes + 23 minutes of cooking
For an 18cm diameter fondant:
Ingredients:
200g of dark chocolate at 80% cocoa
50g of milk chocolate at 46%
175g of butter
4 eggs
160 of granulated sugar
75g of flour
1 pinch of fleur de sel
Recipe:
To achieve the ultra-melting texture of this cake, you need to prepare it using an immersion blender to obtain a very homogeneous batter.
Melt the chocolates with the butter and salt.
Blend the eggs with the sugar.
When the mixture is frothy, add the melted chocolate and butter and blend again. Finally, add the flour and blend one last time.
Pour the batter into a buttered 18cm diameter ring.
Bake in the preheated oven at 160°C for about 20 minutes (I made two attempts, one at 19 minutes of cooking, one at 23 minutes, personally I prefer the one at 23 minutes of cooking, it's up to you!). These photos correspond to 23 minutes of cooking:
And these at 19 minutes:
Let cool completely, then unmold the cake and enjoy!
