Moist and Rich Chocolate Gateau
- 100 grams Milk chocolate bar
- 40 grams Butter
- 2 Egg (medium size)
- 50 grams Sugar
- 20 grams Cocoa powder
- 10 grams Cake flour
- 1 tbsp Rum Liquor
- 1 Cocoa powder (for garnish)
- Sift the flour and cocoa powder.
- Separate the egg yolks and whites.
- Preheat the oven to 160C.
- Finely chop the chocolate.
- Melt together with the butter in a double boiler.
- Make a meringue with the egg whites by adding 10 g of sugar in 3 batches, whipping until stiff peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, cream the egg yolks and 20 g of sugar until white.
- Whisk cocoa powder into the chocolate mixture.
- Combine well.
- Add the creamed egg yolks from Step 4, as well as the rum.
- Mix again.
- Whisk 1/3 of the meringue into the batter.
- Then change to a rubber spatula and fold in the remaining meringue in 2 batches.
- Use a fold-and-cut motion to combine the flour.
- Pour into a mould, smoothing the surface with a rubber spatula.
- Bake for 30 - 35 minutes.
- After the cake has cooled down, remove from the mould and sprinkle on cocoa powder with a tea strainer.
- Double the amount of ingredients if you're planning to use a 18 cm mould.
- The baking time is the same.
- Powdered sugar was used as a topping here.
- When giving this as a gift, presenting it on a lace paper dolly wrapped in a cellophane bag prevents the cake from losing its shape.
