Ingredients for making chocolate sponge cake

Ingredients for making chocolate cake

For 6-8 people:

3 eggs
200 g flour
200g sugar
200g butter
200 g of dark chocolate (from 70%)
1 teaspoon baking powder
Butter and flour to grease the mold
1 pinch of salt

Melt the butter and mix with the other ingredients

The first thing you have to do is melt the butter in a saucepan, add the chocolate and let it melt. Then, you remove it from the heat and add the sugar, mix it well, and incorporate the three egg yolks (one by one), the flour mixed with the yeast and, finally, the whites, whipped to the point of very firm snow (with a pinch of salt).

Transfer to a mold and bake

Pour the dough into a mold (it can be round or elongated) greased with butter and sprinkled with flour, and bake in the oven, at 180º, for about 50 minutes. Check that the cake is well cooked, remove it from the oven and, when it is warm, turn it over, lift the mold and let it cool on a rack.

Fill the brownie

Cut it into discs and fill it with jam, for example. To cut it without deviating and that it is perfect, you can mark the height of the cut with a cup or a bowl upside down and some toothpicks that you drive into the cake at the same height. Then, you just have to take a kitchen string or a knife and cut over the chopsticks, as we tell you in our step by step to make delicious classic sponge cake.

Add coverage

You can also add a coating to the chocolate cake to make it more appetizing (in this case, melted chocolate). To apply, start at the top and center and spread carefully using a pastry spatula or a long knife or the back of a spoon. And then the sides are done.

Other fillings and coatings

In addition to jam, the chocolate cake is also deliciously filled with whipped cream, pastry or cocoa cream, truffle … And apart from melted chocolate you can cover it with cream, meringue, red berries, seasonal fruit …

Juicy brownie

One of the tricks so that the chocolate cake is juicier and fluffier (apart from adding the egg whites to a very firm snow point during the preparation of the dough) is to 'get it drunk' with some kind of liquid once made, such as, for example, syrup, fruit juice, coffee diluted in mineral water, or some type of liquor. You can incorporate it when you cut it into discs.

Chocolate and yogurt cake

When there are 15 minutes to go, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar and sliced almonds. Finish cooking, let cool and remove from the mold.
