Gateau au Chocolat
- 1 bitter and 2 milk chocolate bars Chocolate bars
- 2 tbsp Flour
- 2 tbsp Cocoa powder
- 50 ml Heavy cream
- 3 Egg yolk
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 Egg white
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 Powdered sugar for garnish
- Apply butter to the pan, sprinkle flour, and set aside.
- Refrigerate.
- If you're using a cake pan from the dollar store, it's fine as-is.
- Sift the flour and cocoa powder and set aside.
- Mix the ingredients together until it turns white.
- Create the meringue from the ingredients.
- Beat well until stiff peaks form.
- Melt the chocolate over a double boiler.
- Warm the heavy cream in the microwave and mix with the chocolate.
- Add the chocolate from Step 5 to the egg whites a little at a time and mix.
- Add the meringue in 2 portions.
- Mix half with the chocolate from Step 6 well.
- Mix the other half together with the dry ingredients.
- Mix the remaining meringue carefully as to not crush it.
- It's good if you have a rubber spatula.
- Preheat your oven to 180C.
- Pour into the pan.
- Lightly rap against the counter to eliminate air pockets and bake at 180C for 35 minutes.
- Please adjust the time accordingly while observing the cake.
- If you can cleanly insert a toothpick it's complete.
- It's good while hot, but if you leave it overnight, you'll get a more developed, rich flavor.
- It'll be soft right out of the oven but as time passes, it'll deflate.
- That's fine.
- Cool, then top with powdered sugar.
