a chocolate cake

IMG_5020This is a dream come true. Although I have to admit that fresh and (still) warm works best. And it is dead-simple to make, with just two ingredients.

  • 165g chocolate (minimum of 50% cocoa)
  • 2 eggs
  • pinch of salt

Start of with melting the chocolate (in a bowl over a hot water bath). Add the two egg yolk and mix quickly (otherwise you might end up with a delux-version of scrambled eggs. No mention of the taste.)

Beat the egg whites (works well with a pinch of salt, but that is optional). Mix into the chocolate mixture.

Add mixture to a baking tray (rather small, otherwise it will be a large biscuit) with baking paper lining the bottom.

Bake in a pre-heated oven (170°C) for 25-30 minutes. Enjoy.
