A rich, decadent, chocolate cake made of 4 different types of chocolate and just a tablespoon of flour,eggs, honey butter and a tiny bit more sugar. A crowd pleaser!
200 g dark chocolate
100g bittersweet chocolatr
100g milk chocolate
100g lindt chocolate with a touc of sea salt
150 g butter, cut into cubes
A good glug of honey
1 tbsp caster sugar
4 eggs
1 tbsp flour, sifted
Grease and line a springform tin with baking paper and pre-heat oven to 220C.
Melt chocolate, butter and honey in a bain marie until well incorporated with each other. Set aside to cool a little bit.
Meanwhile, whisk eggs with sugar until pale and frothy. This could take a while (around 10minutes). It would have at least tripled in volume and would look very thick, leaving a ribbon trail. Fold in flour. Fold in chocolate and egg mixture, moving quickly so as not to loose the air. Pour to prepared tin and bake for 12-15minutes. Run a knife along the edge, and remove collar. Then let cool, and refrigerate overnight to set the center.
Top with berries, or cherries, like in this instance. I would have made a cherry coulis but I wasn't in the best form (was feeling a little bit under the weather) but I was informed that it didn't really need it this time - i guess adding a bit of milk chocolate decreased the richness compared to when i made this a couple of times before when i used more dark chocolate.
Recipe is a keeper :)
