Actually any of you readers can take this as well. But my aunt asked me for recipes online, like rite now and i dont have a soft copy of it.. so i'm typing it here for easy reference.
So here's the recipe for Chocolate Paradise.
The most chocolatey and sinful cake i've ever made. And damn easy too!
Ingredients
200g (7oz) bittersweet chocolate, chopped
250g (9oz) unsalted butter
3/4 cup castor sugar
6eggs, whites and yolks separated
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup almonds, finely ground
Glaze
180g (6 1/2 oz) bittersweet chocolate, chopped
3 tbsp whipping cream
1 tbsp vanilla essence
2 tbsp butter
almond flakes to decorate
Method
- Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water until smooth. Set aside to cool.
- Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks one at a time.
- Sift together flour and cocoa powder. Add to batter together with cooled melted chocolate and ground almonds.
- Meanwhile, beat egg whites with cream of tartar and fold into batter in three batches. Pour batter into a greased and floured bundt pan (any pan is fine. the last time i did it, i just used the normal round pan) and bake in an over preheated to 175C (350F) for 50 minutes until top forms a crust but inside is still moist. Leave cake to cool thoroughly in pan before removing.
- Prepare glaze. Mix chocolate, cream, vanilla essence and butter over low heat until melted. Leave to cool slightly before drizzling over cake. Sprinkle almond flakes over cake.
Apologies to all for not posting up pics of this cake that i've baked. But when i made this, I was back in Singapore during the summer break and my cousins from Malaysia drove in that night and the cake was gone within an hour after they arrived.
so yeah... LOL!
