Chocolate Sauce
- Dilute coffee in the milk.
- Take ⅓ cup (90g) of brown sugar and mix with the cocoa and the coffee with milk in a saucepan.
- Heat over low heat for a few minutes. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
- Turn off the heat, then add the chopped dark chocolate and stir until melted. Let cool.
- Preheat oven to 320F/160C.
- In a mixer bowl, cream the butter with the remaining brown sugar until the mixture is airy.
- Stir in the egg yolks one at a time, vanilla and chocolate sauce and finally the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Separately, beat the egg whites until stiff with a pinch of salt and a few drops of lemon juice or white vinegar and very gently incorporate into the chocolate mixture.
- Divide the quantity equally in the 3 pans and bake at mid-height in the oven for 20 minutes.
- Check that the cake is fully baked by poking a toothpick in the middle of the cake. It should come out dry.
- After cooking, let stand cakes out of the oven for 10 minutes before unmolding.
