Pudding au Chocolat Noir
- 80 grams Chocolate (bitter baking chocolate)
- 2 Eggs
- 60 grams Granulated sugar
- 40 grams Cake flour
- 15 grams Cocoa powder
- 70 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 Whipped cream
- 1 Chocolate sauce
- 1 Cocoa powder (for garnish)
- Prep 1: Finely chop or break apart the chocolate.
- Prep 2: Sift together the flour and cocoa powder.
- Prep 3: Coat the sides of the tins with butter.
- Prep 4: Boil the water to be used for the double boiler.
- Place the chocolate and butter in a bowl and melt them in a double boiler.
- When it has melted, remove from the double boiler.
- Place the chocolate mixture in a double boiler again after you're done with Steps 5 and 6.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the egg and sugar in a double boiler.
- Since I'm lazy, I boil the water and then leave it boiling when I put in the other bowl for the double boiler.
- When the mixture looks like what's shown the photo, remove from heat.
- Beat the mixture until it forms ribbons.
- If you have a hand mixer, it'll be easier.
- I don't have one, so I used nothing but brute strength for this work!
- Add "Prep 2" to Step 7.
- Mix it together gently without breaking the air bubbles.
- Be sure not to mix it too much!
- Add Step 4 to Step 8 and mix together carefully.
- Preheat the oven to 160C.
- Fill the cake pan 80% high with Step 9 and cover with an aluminum foil lid.
- Place the cake pan on a baking tray and fill 1/3 high with boiling water.
- Steam bake at 160C for 30 minutes.
- I used a large cake pan instead of a baking tray.
- Once the batter begins to push against the foil and the surface is baked, stick a skewer into the center.
- If nothing sticks to it, remove the cake from the oven immediately.
- Note Depending on the size of the pan, the baking time will differ.
- After 20 minutes, check on it.
- After removing from the oven, let it cool.
- The batter will sink as it cools.
- After it cools, wrap it up while still in the pan and chill in the refrigerator.
- To let the flavor mature, eat it anywhere from the next day until 2-3 days later.
- Enjoy it warm and soft.
- To remove from the cake pan, either place the pan in hot water, or stick the edge of a knife (etc.)
- around the edges of the pan.
- Optionally top it with whipped cream and chocolate sauce.
- In place of pudding cups, you can bake them in ramekins and eat out of it.
