The chocolate cake

Hello there!

I’m not going to lie, it’s freezing in France right now. A few days ago, I strongly believed that Spring was finally here, that I could throw away my boots and coats. Can you believe it ? -1 degree yesterday morning and 4 degrees this morning ?? I want my sun back !!

Immediate effect :  I put my apron on and start a nice and cosy recipe. Today, it will be chocolate cake day !! Yay !

It took me a while to find the right recipe. Most of the time, the ones I tried were too dry with little taste of real chocolate.

Until … Tadaaa ! I finally discovered the recipe I’m sharing with you today !

Scrumptious, pleasure, sweetness are the right words here to qualify what you’ll get in your plate. I’m not going to lie, it is not the lightest this is why I like to bake it in individual moulds. This way, you can change the shapes and make it more fun  : bundt cake, muffin or  mini almond cake shape. You can also bake it in a standard cake mould (round or rectangular), you will just have to adjust the baking time.

You can make up to 15 to 18 mini cakes or a big one (approximate size 25×20 cm, 10×8 inches). Be careful, if you don’t have enough mixture in your mould, your cake won’t be soft enough and that would be a real shame !!

On the side, I you plan to serve it to your guests, I recommend to put slightly acid fruits (like strawberries or raspberries to balance the high sugar level), or a vanilla or yogurt ice cream with low sugar amount.

Anyway, let’s bake now ! I will wait for your comments. Once you’ve baked it, I’m pretty sure you’ll do it again !

Enjoy now !!
