The 3 magical ingredients 🪄
For this minimalist and gourmet recipe, you need:
✅ 200 g of dark chocolate (70% cocoa minimum for an intense flavor)
✅ 3 eggs (preferably at room temperature)
✅ 50 g of butter (sweet or semi-salted depending on your preference)
👉 That’s all! No sugar, no flour… and yet, the texture is divine.
How to prepare this ultra-melting chocolate cake? 🍫
1️⃣ Melt the chocolate and butter
- Break the chocolate into pieces and melt it with the butter in a bain-marie or in the microwave (in 30-second intervals).
- Mix well to obtain a smooth and shiny texture.
2️⃣ Beat the eggs
- In a bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a fork or whisk to homogenize them.
- Tip 🔥: if you want an even airier cake, whip the egg whites before folding them in.
3️⃣ Assemble everything
- Gradually pour the melted chocolate-butter mixture into the beaten eggs while stirring gently.
- Mix well, but do not overbeat to avoid incorporating too much air.
4️⃣ Bake at 180°C for 20 minutes
- Pour the batter into a buttered and lined baking dish.
- Cooking: 18 to 22 minutes depending on the texture you want (more melting or more cooked).
- Tip 😍: Check the cooking with the tip of a knife. It should come out slightly moist for a melting effect.
5️⃣ Let it rest before tasting
- Let it cool for at least 10 minutes before unmolding.
- Dust with cocoa powder or powdered sugar for an even more indulgent finish.
Secrets for an unforgettable cake 💡
👉 Use good chocolate: the richer it is in cocoa, the better your cake will be.
👉 Let it rest in the fridge for 24 hours for an even denser and melting texture.
👉 Add a pinch of salt to enhance the chocolate flavor.
👉 Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a berry coulis for an irresistible touch.
