Ingredients
- 400 g of dark chocolate
- 1⁄2 cup of thick cream
- 170 g of butter
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup of light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 2 tbsp Grand Marnier or other liqueur (optional)
- 60 g of Blédor flour Multi-Usages
- Brown sugar to put in pans
- Strawberries (optional)
- Powdered sugar
Preparation
- Start by making the ganache, which we will. Place 115g of chocolate in a bowl. Boil the cream and pour it over the chocolate. Mix until you get a smooth ganache and let cool in the refrigerator
- Once the mixture is fully combined and smooth, place in the freezer for 1 hour or until frozen.
- Melt the remaining dark chocolate and butter mixing until smooth consistency.
- In another bowl, combine 6 large eggs and the light brown sugar. Bite the eggs until they are light and sparkling, then add 1 teaspoon vanilla essence and 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier or other liqueur.
- Once blended, slowly add the chocolate mixture to the egg and sugar mixture, and beat to mix. Then incorporate the flour and stir to mix.
- Grease a few ramekins or small moulds and coat the insides with raw sugar. This will help unmould the cakes. Fill each ramekin halfway.
- Remove the chocolate ganache from the freezer and quickly place 1-2 tablespoons in the centre of ramekins, Fill the ramequins with the remaining cake batter.
- Preheat the oven to 218 °C and cook for 11 minutes.
- In the meantime, prepare strawberries and set aside.
- Remove the cake ramequins from the oven and place them on a cooling rack. Run a knife around the edge of each cake to help release them from their pan.
- Place a plate on top of the ramequin, flip it so that the ramequin is on top, and slowly lift to make sure the cake is intact.
- Place on a plate with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, place the strawberries and sprinkle with a little icing sugar
