Chocolate cake
Posted by Enzo d'Antò • Friday, November 14. 2008 • Category: PastriesIngredients for 4 tortini:
100 gr. Black chocolate (70%)
80 gr. butter
80 gr. Icing sugar
20 gr. flour
2 eggs of average size
pinch of salt.
Material: aluminum monoserving cup.
Let’s start melting on a low flame in a double saucepan the chopped chocolate and the butter cut as cubes and mix with a wood spoon.
When all is well melt, add the sugar trough a fine-tooth comb and Keep mixing
At this point take it out from the flame and let it cool down for some minutes.
Beat with an electric mix two eggs with a pinch of salt.
Add really slowly the cream always mixing with wood spoon (must be perfectly mixed).
Now put the sugar in trough a fine-tooth comb and keep mixing.
Grease the 4 aluminum cups. Pour evenly in the cups, about ½ full. Place on baking tray. Bake on center oven rack for 8 min to 230 C or until edges are coked and center is still liquid. Do not open the oven during the baking!!! (the cooking time can change depending on the oven. My personal advice is to test it with one and then bake the others).
Place the tray on a cooling rack and let stand for 10 min. Loosen the cake from the side of the cup with a knife. Carefully unmold by placing a plate over the top of the cake and invert.
Some sugar on top and serve warm, if you like it you can lay it on some vanilla cream and decorate with some small fruit as in the picture.
If all is fine when you cut it with your spoon, nice and warm liquid chocolate must come out.
Enjoy.
