Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a pot, melt the chocolate and butter over low heat, until you obtain a smooth mixture.
Step 2
Separate the whites from the egg yolks.
Step 3
In a large bowl, add the egg yolks and sugar. Whisk with 20g of water (quantities for 1 cake), until you obtain a smooth mixture.
Step 4
Stir in the chocolate & melted butter into the egg mixture. Add the flour and yeast. Mix again.
Step 5
Beat the whites until stiff & gently add them little by little to the mixture.
Step 6
Line the bottom of a cake mold (we used a 23 cm diameter dish here) with a sheet of baking paper, & butter the sides of the mold. Pour in the cake batter & bake for 35 minutes at 180°C.
Step 7
Leave the cake to cool down before un-molding it by turning it over & removing the baking paper.
Step 8
Microwave the marshmallows for 30 seconds. Mix well until they begin to become stringy.
Step 9
Using two teaspoons, stretch the melted marshmallows into threads. Spread them all over the cake to form a spider web. Enjoy !
