Description
There’s just four ingredients in this cake but with the right chocolate, and the right chocolate lover, that’s all you need.
Ingredients
Scale
- 360 grams bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped
- 12 eggs, separated
- 50 grams butter
- 40 grams granulated sugar
- Chocolate shavings and cocoa powder for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
- Spray a 10-inch springform pan well.
- Melt the butter and chocolate together in a double boiler.
- Beat the egg yolks and half of the sugar on high until pale and ribbon-y.
- Fold in the chocolate/butter mixture and beat well until combined.
- Use an electric beater to whip the egg whites until foamy.
- Add in the rest of the sugar and beat until stiff peaks.
- Fold the egg whites into the chocolate/yolk mixture in small amounts until fully incorporated.
- Pour most of the mixture into the pan, leaving about 1/4 or 1/3 batter to put away in the fridge.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until you press your finger in the center and it leaves an indentation (mine was crusty and broke when I pressed my finger to it…not sure if I over-baked it but it still turned out great)
- Once removed from the oven, immediately overturn on a serving plate and remove the spring form.
- Let cool completely (it might sink, that’s ok).
- And then spread the reserved batter over the top and add chocolate shavings (all different grade of chocolate, like white, milk and dark might be a nice touch).
- Sift cocoa powder over the top for pleasing aesthetics.
