Ingredients for 8 servings
– Dark chocolate: 200 grams
– Butter: 150 grams
– Granulated sugar: 150 grams
– Flour: 50 grams
– Eggs: 3
Instructions
1. Preparing the Butter
Start by removing the butter from the refrigerator to soften. If you forget, simply microwave it for about ten seconds to make it easier to work with later on.
2. Preparing the Chocolate
Break the chocolate into pieces and add three tablespoons of water. Melt it over medium heat in a double boiler setup (chocolate in a smaller pot inside a larger pot filled with water).
3. Mixing the Ingredients
While the chocolate melts, cream the softened butter in a mixing bowl using a wooden spoon, adding the granulated sugar. Continue stirring until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. For a smoother consistency, an electric mixer can be very effective.
4. Incorporating Eggs and Flour
Add the eggs one at a time, alternating with the flour. Tip: Stir well and thoroughly work the batter between each addition of egg and flour until everything is fully incorporated. To achieve a more uniform batter, use the electric mixer briefly.
5. Adding the Chocolate
Next, blend the melted chocolate into the mixture, ensuring it’s well stirred with a spoon.
6. Baking the Fondant
Grease your baking mold, pour in the batter, and bake in a preheated oven at 150°C (302°F) for 25 to 30 minutes.
Serving
Once the cake has completely cooled, dust it with icing sugar. Serve chilled.
