Ingredients
US|METRIC
- 110 grams dark chocolate
- 110 grams butter
- 1 vanilla pod
- 4 egg whites
- 110 grams powdered sugar
- 3 egg yolks
- 50 grams ground almonds
- 50 grams flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- single cream (25 cl.)
- chocolate chips (for decoration)
Directions
- Melt chocolate and butter in a water bath, or double boiler. Add inside of a scraped vanilla pod. Mix until smooth.
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Whip 4 egg-whites to a light mousse, add 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar, and continue beating.
- Add 3 egg yolks to the chocolate, remaining powdered sugar, ground almonds, flour, and baking powder. Mix with a wooden spoon (the preparation is fairly thick). Add 2 tablespoons of whisked egg whites, and mix to soften the preparation. Then add the remaining whites by lifting them gently into the mixture with a spatula.
- Pour into a soft silicone mold, and bake for about 13 minutes. Check if the cake is done by using the tip of a knife. Let cool before unmolding the cake.

This is a great chocolate cake recipe. I love the flavors and it’s not too sweet. It’s just sweet enough for some gooey frosting to complete this dessert.
