Simple and Rich Gateau au Chocolat step by step
- Put all the ingredients marked with ■ in a bowl and warm slightly in the microwave (to 30°C). Melt together by stirring with a whisk. Once the ingredients have melted, preheat the oven to 170°C..
- Sift the ingredients marked with △ into the melted ingredients prepared in Step 1 and mix in well with a whisk..
- *Meringue* Using a hand mixer, beat the egg whites into a firm meringue. →The meringue shown in Step 4 was a little too hard, and it's better if it's looser..
- Add in the meringue in two parts and fold it in so as not to crush the bubbles. To start, put in 1/3 of the meringue and fold in roughly. Add the rest and mix until the mixture becomes fluffy. Mix it so that no lumps remain..
- Pour the batter in a pan, and drop it lightly 2 or 3 times to get rid of trapped air, then bake it at 170°C for 50 minutes. Once the cake has cooled, cover with plastic wrap (or something similar) and put it in the fridge for half a day to a day before eating..
- Decorate it by dusting it with powdered sugar. The middle is nice and moist. Even though it's light, it's full-bodied and delicious..
