I told you last days that I hadn’t prepared sweets lately. After a terrible fight with a cold last week I won and I decided I deserved some sort of a special treat as the winners are always getting a special treat, aren’t they?!?!
And what would be better than a super finger licking chocolate cake?
I was planning to bake a Mud Cake! But Ama‘s Secret Challenge organized this month by Diana @ Tara mea inventata gave me the opportunity to go through a new blog Delicioasa, where I found a lot of interesting recipes. My need of something sweet made me choose the Chocolate Cake recipe. It was exactly what I wanted: a cake with lots of chocolate, very creamy and soft, the perfect comfort food ever.
So, I put myself together, prepared my ingredients, heated the oven and started baking.
I barely modified the recipe with a hint of alcohol
Ingredients:
- 240g unsalted butter
- 350g extra dark chocolate 80% cacao
- 300g brown sugar
- 4tbs water
- 5 eggs
- 50ml Baileys
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 170° C.
- Grease a round baking tin (removable bottom) with butter and dust it with cocoa. (22cm)
- Separate whites from yolks.
- Put the butter with chopped chocolate in a heat resistant dish.
- Put the sugar and the water in a sauce pan and heat over until you get a thick syrup.
- Pour the syrup over the chocolate and butter and mix well until chocolate melts.
- Add yolks one by one and mix well. Add the whiskey cream.
- Let the chocolate cream cool at room temperature.
- Beat egg whites with a pinch of salt. When the chocolate cream cools off add the egg whites beaten mixing gently from bottom to top with a silicon spatula.
- Pour the cream into the baking dish and bake for cca 60′.
Let it cool completely and dust it with cocoa.
Serve with fruit, whipped cream or ice cream.
Enjoy!
Arata demential! Cu ciocolata, exact cum imi place!
Superb, ador dulciurile, torturile, tot ce contine ciocolata. Vreau sa racesc si eu pentru a avea o asemenea recompensa/premiu.
