recipe

  • 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 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 !
