Chocolate and Spanish Cava – What a great combination!
Another working week is almost over and my advice is to indulge your selves over the weekend! To help you in the right direction I am now going to give away one of my big secrets – My favourite chocolate cake recipe. Anyone can do it; it’s a quick and easy to make cake with soft and nice chocolate taste.
Portions: 1 cake (10-12 pieces) Time: 60 minutes
Ingredients:
240 gr. butter
250 ml sugar (240gr.)
3 egg whites
6 egg yolks
1 tablespoon (15ml) cold coffee
380gr chocolate (50-60% cocoa)
150ml flour (95gr)
1. Put the oven on 180ºC.
2. Melt the butter. Break the chocolate into pieces and let them melt in the butter.
3. Whip the egg whites and add the sugar. Carefully add the egg yolk, butter, coffee and chocolate.
4. Add the flour at last. When that is done, don’t mix too long. The mixture will then become to compact.
5. Pour the mixture in a cake tin with 24 cm in diameter and with a removable base.
6. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes. Top the cake after cooling down with for example strawberries. Powder the cake with cocoa powder just before serving.
Yummie Yummie! Drink a Spanish Cava for example Gramona Imperial Brut to this and enjoy your weekend!
