All Chocolate Cake

I love chocolate, I think you should know that already. I especially love chocolate cakes, and I have many different recipes to make this lovely dessert. I like to mix and match sponge cake recipes with different flavors or glazes that I find from another recipe. My son has been craving chocolate cake since I asked him if I should make some about 2 weeks ago and made pineapple cake instead. I couldn’t torment him any longer, so I finally made this delicious chocolate cake covered in chocolate glaze and chocolate chips. This is the perfect treat for anyone who needs their chocolate fix 😉

Ingredients for the cake:

• 125 grams cooking chocolate cut into small pieces
• 3 eggs, separated
• 3/4 cup of flour less 1 tablespoon
• 1 cup icing sugar less 1 tablespoon
• a pinch of salt
• 125 grams soft butter+ 1 tablespoon to grease a round cake tin

Ingredients for the chocolate glaze:

• 1 cup fresh cream
• 2 tablespoons corn syrup
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 340 chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation:

• Preheat the oven to 180 C
• Put the pieces of chocolate in a double boiler (or bain-marie) to let it melt
• Remove from fire then add the flour, sugar and the egg yolks; mix well
• Whisk the egg white with a pinch of salt until it forms a peak
• Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture
• Put into the greased tin and bake for about 30 minutes, then put it on a wire rack until cold
• To make the chocolate glaze, boil the fresh cream in a casserole with sugar and corn syrup, then remove from fire
• Pour the boiled cream over the chocolate chips in a bowl and stir with a spoon until the chocolate melts, then let it set to cool. When cool add the vanilla
• Spread the chocolate glaze over the cake and decorate with whatever you like (I used kiwi and chocolate chips; you could use any fruits, sprinkles, whipped cream, etc…)

ET VOILA.. C’EST TOUT! BON APPETIT 🙂
