Рецепт Dark Chocolate Cake with Pine Nuts
Inspired by having a fridge full of salted butter from France (a gift from friends/guests) and a cupboard stocked with dark chocolate - Jason knew what needed to be done. It was too bad we didn't have any gelato (a warm slice of this cake with a scoop of vanilla!) but we made due a little fresh whipped cream on the side.
As it was cooling on the windowsill before dinner, I couldn't help but do a little "quality control" and sneak a slice.
I posted the photo above with this question yesterday on Facebook: "...do you think anyone will notice?!"
The comments were hysterical & creative on what I should do to hide the evidence or who I should blame (the chickens!) and many of you asked for the recipe. So here is the ridiculously simple recipe to this rich dark chocolate cake.
The better the chocolate - the better the cake. We used a mix of 100% and 72% dark chocolate.
Dark Chocolate Cake with Pine Nuts
4 eggs
125g sugar
125g butter
125g dark chocolate 72% or greater
75g flour
1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
pinch of salt
125g pine nuts (toasted)
Beat eggs & sugar until foamy. Melt chocolate and butter then once cool, combine with the egg mixture.
Sift flour, salt and baking powder. In a few strokes, mix into egg mixture.
Just before the flour is fully incorporated toss in half the nuts. Butter and flour a spring form pan. Pour in mixture and top with the other half of the pine nuts.
Bake 175C or 350F for 30-40 minutes
