🥘 Ingredients

Dark Chocolate Couverture: Couverture is a special type of chocolate designed with melting in mind. It is crafted with a little extra cocoa butter so it melts smoothly and quickly. Using dark chocolate couverture in this bake gives you a bold bittersweet flavor without any fuss!

Eggs: Eggs are the trick to this perfectly soft and delightful cake! Eggs are made up of two parts: the yolk and the whites. The yolks contain all the egg’s richness and fat, while the whites are pure protein. When they are split, the yolks can bring a decadent, rich flavor to the recipe, and the whites can be whipped into a type of texture-enhancing meringue.

Granulated Sugar: Granulated sugar brings a little sweetness to the cake. It also helps to give the exterior of the cake a lovely crunchy sugar texture!

Cake Flour: There are many types of flour, each with its purpose. Cake flour is a low-protein flour designed to be light and airy. Using this variety of flour ensures your cake has the perfect spongy texture. In a jam, you can use another flour, like all-purpose; however, it can adversely affect the texture of the cake.

Baking Powder: This common pantry ingredient is a leavening agent that helps the cake rise. If you’re all out, use equal parts baking soda and cream of tartar as a substitute.

Milk Chocolate Couverture: Milk chocolate brings an extra creamy note of chocolatey goodness to round out the darker cocoa taste. You can also opt to use a second helping of dark chocolate or white chocolate instead.

💭 Top Tips

There is nothing worse than putting all the effort into a cake only to have it stick to the pan! Save yourself the heartache by greasing the pan with butter then sprinkling it with breadcrumbs or even a little A.P. flour. This ensures that your cake will come out of the pan cleanly and easily.

Be very careful when separating the eggs. Even the tiniest bit of yolk can inhibit your whites from whipping to their full potential. And be very careful to simply fold the whites into the batter so you do not lose all that delicious airy lift!
