Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven at 140 degrees Celsius (284 Fahrenheit).
- Melt the butter, then leave to cool.
- Melt the chocolate, and leave to cool.
- Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites.
- Beat the egg yolks with the powdered sugar until you get a smooth, light-coloured consistency.
- Add the cocoa powder and melted chocolate, and mix again.
- Gradually add the flour, one tablespoon at the time, and beat until fully incorporated, then add the vanilla extract, butter and milk, and beat again.
- Beat the egg whites separately until you get stiff peaks, then use a spatuala to gently fold them into the batter.
- Line a large rectacle baking tray ( 15x26 cm, 6x10 inches )with non-stick perchament paper, then add the batter.
- Bake in the oven for 70 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, and a tooth pick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Turn off the oven, then leave to cool completely in there. Once it's cool, refrigerate overnight before slicing.
- Optionally, you can powder the cake with icing sugar or cocoa powder before slicing it.
Notes
- Click on the US Customary link (under the ingredient list) to see the measurements displayed in cups and ounces.
- The servings can be adjusted by clicking the number next to Servings.
- Make sure the ingredients are at room temperature, so I recommend removing them from the fridge at least one hour before you start baking.
- Make sure the butter and chocolate are melted and cool before adding them to the batter.
- Beat the eggs very well, first the egg yolks are beaten together with the sugar, then the egg whites are beaten separately, again, very well.
- When you fold in the egg whites, use a spatula, and not a whisk or blender, there is no need to fully incorporate them until smooth.
- The oven has to be pre-heated when the cake goes in
- Leave to bake undisturbed for about 60-70 minutes at a low temperature (140 degrees Celsius, 284 Fahrenheit), if it still jiggles in the middle, leave to bake further until the top is golden brown.
- Refrigerate overnight before slicing and serve cold
