Chocolate cake

Wednesday it was my friend's birthday. I made her a chocolate cake. It was so delicious. Definitely recommended! I will give you the recipe so you can make it yourself.

What do you need?

Dough:
  • 300g dark chocolate
  • 6 eggs
  • A pinch of salt
  • 200g caster sugar
  • 150g butter
  • 150g flower
  • 1 sachet baking powder
Glaze:
  • 200g chocolate
  • 150g cream



How do you make it?

Dough:
1. Preheat your oven on 180 degrees.

2. Break the chocolate into pieces and melt them au bain-marie (= A pot with water on the stove with another pot on top of it where you put the choclate pieces in ).

3. Split the eggs and mix the sugar and the egg yolks (= The yellow stuff of the egg).































4. Add the butter, flower, chocolate and baking powder.
































5. Stir the egg-whites with a pinch of salt.































5. Add this to the dough.































6. Butter your bakeform and put the dough into the it.

7. Put it in the oven for 40 minutes.

8. Allow to cool.
































Glaze:

1. Melt the chocolat au bain-marie.

2. Add the cream and stir.

3. Pour the mixture over the cake.
































4. Allow to dry.

5. Eventually you can decorate the cake with powdered sugar. I wrote in dutch: Dorien 17 wordt nooit 18, Dorien 17 will never be 18 in english. Because the end of the world would-be on the 21 of December and she'll never turn 18. I wrote it on a piece of paper and cut out the letters. Than I put the paper on the cake and put the powdered sugar over the letters. This is the result.
































I hope you like it. And try it yourself, SUCCES!
Let me know if it was delicious or not.

Lots of love,
Eline
