The ultimate Chocolate Cake

Thanks to my partner Fackelmann, I have a really nice Dr Oetker 30 cm cake mold (you can find it here). I had to find a good idea to try it.

So I baked this ultimate chocolate cake!

This recipe is the combination of recipes found here and there, with the insiration given by my mentors Alain Ducasse or Christophe Felder.

The main idea in this ultimate chocolate cake recipe is: chocolate, with chocolate and some more chocolate!!!

My full chocolate range comes from Cacao Barry: Force Noire for the icing, “Plein Arome” cocoa powder for the batter and the Drops chocolate chips.

And guess what… It’s outstanding!!

The cake is light, so yummy and deliciously chocolate! A delight for the afternoon snack!! With 3 levels of chocolate… Humm … So good!

Serve it with vanilla ice cream or a creme anglaise, and you will have a dessert to die for!!

You should definitely try it!!

(I keep my ultimate chocolate cake in the fridge to maintain a nice and shiny icing.)

The utensils:

My Dr Oetker 30 cm cake mold by Fackelmann France

My professional whisk by De Buyer or my hand mixer by Moulinex

Shall we? The recipe, Chef!

    Après avoir testé plusieurs recettes de votre site avec succès, je n’ai pas été conquise par celle-ci. J’ai trouvé que le gâteau n’est pas assez chocolaté niveau goût. Merci quand même pour le partage
