recipe

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a saucepan, melt some of the chocolate (200g for a cake) and the butter over low heat until you obtain a very smooth mixture.
  • Step 2
    Separate whites from yellows. Save a whole egg for the glaze.
  • Step 3
    In a salad bowl, add the egg yolks and the sugar* then whisk everything with 20g of water (amount for 1 cake) until you obtain a smooth mixture. *Check out our tips for this step
  • Step 4
    Add the chocolate and melted butter to the mixture. Mix well then add the flour and yeast. Mix again.
  • Step 5
    Beat the whites until stiff and then gently add them to the mixture in several batches. Mix well.
  • Step 6
    Line a mold with a sheet of baking paper in the bottom then butter the sides. Add your preparation then bake for 35 minutes at 180°C.
  • Step 7
    Leave the cake to cool then unmold it by turning it over and remove the baking paper.
  • Step 8
    In a saucepan, melt the remaining chocolate (140g for 1 cake) with the liquid cream then spread it over the entire surface of the cake. Leave to cool in the fridge for at least 1 hour until the chocolate sets well.
  • Step 9
    In a bowl, separate the white from the yolk of the last egg. Add the icing sugar with the egg white and whisk until smooth.
  • Step 10
    Using baking paper, form a cone by folding the sheet to form a triangle then rolling one end to form the cone. Fold the excess leaf inwards.
  • Step 11
    Add the icing inside then start decorating your cake. It's ready !
