This is not just a chocolate cake. This is a liquid chocolate cake with a brownie-like shiny and crinkled top, giving way to a centre that is quite literally oozing gooey melted chocolate.
A creative spin on a Swedish sticky chocolate tart (if you know, you know Kladdkaka), this decadent dessert by Le Cordon Bleu-trained pastry chef Bianca Manik is everything about a good day baked into one incredibly Insta-worthy treat. Much like all the treats she regularly whips up at her French-inspired patisserie, Blanchette actually!
If you’re looking for a step up fix to satiate your chocolate cravings, bookmark this as the recipe for you.
Liquid Chocolate Cake
Ingredients
- 260 gm high quality dark chocolate about 70% dark
- 70 gm butter
- 150 gm caster sugar
- 5 gm salt
- 3 eggs
- 40 gm cornstarch
- 50 gm cocoa
- 15 ml kahlua/ rum (optional)
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven at 180°C. Grease an 8 inch baking tin with melted butter/oil and set aside.
- Melt the butter and chocolate over a double boiler (place a heat proof bowl with these ingredients on top of simmering water). Take off the heat once melted.
- Sieve the salt, cornstarch and the cocoa powder in a separate bowl.
- Whisk the eggs and sugar until they begin to look pale (This is what gives the cake it’s flaky crust!)
- Once warm, whisk in the butter and chocolate mixture with the eggs.
- Add all the dry ingredients, and kahlua/rum (optional) into the mix, gently folding it in.
- Pour into the greased tin and bake at 180°C for 10-12 minutes or until the surface begins to set! Allow to cool for 5 minutes, serve warm.
