Moist and Gooey Gateau Chocolat
- 130 grams Hot chocolate powder (with sugar)
- 120 grams Margarine (or butter), salted
- 70 grams Sugar
- 50 ml Milk
- 3 Egg yolks
- 3 Egg whites
- 30 grams Sugar
- Divide the egg yolks and whites.
- Put the ingredients in a bowl and heat in a microwave until the margarine has just melted.
- Stir well with a balloon whisk and add the egg yolks.
- Loosen the egg whites with a hand mixer and add the sugar in 2 batches.
- Whisk until you can obtain stiff meringue.
- Add 1/3 of the meringue into the chocolate mixture and fold in without breaking the air of the meringue.
- The batter itself is heavy so you don't have to worry too much.
- Add the rest of the meringue and fold in so as not to lose the air of the meringue.
- I used normal paper for lining the cake tin but it stuck to the cake badly.
- It might be better to use baking paper.
- Drop the cake tin from a high place several times to let the excess air out.
- Bake in the pre-heated oven to 170C for about 50 minutes.
- When a skewer inserted comes out clean, it is ready.
- When baking, this cake swells a lot, but after taking it out from the oven, it sinks.
- It will have big cracks too.
- After cooling completely, cover with cling film and chill for half a day or one day.
- Serve with plenty of powdered sugar.
- I served this with whipped cream and ice cream for my mum.
- I used this cocoa powder.
- If you use 180g it might be too bitter.
- If 130 g it is still quite dark.
- You can use less sugar about 60 g.
- This is a chocolate brownie.
- If you want to use up your old cocoa powder this is the recipe for you.
