First of all, to prepare our delicious chocolate cakes we must melt the chocolate in a bain-marie or in the microwave, then add the butter, which we will have left out of the fridge for about 30 minutes. When the butter has also melted, let the mixture cool until reach a temperature of around 30°C, if you don’t have a kitchen thermometer just leave it at room temperature for about thirty minutes.
While the mixture is cooling, we butter and flour 4 aluminum moulds, when the mixture has reached 30°C we transfer everything into a food processor fitted with steel blades, turn on the robot and slowly add the sugar.
When the sugar is well blended we proceed by adding the eggs little by little, wait until the eggs have been absorbed and then add the flour and continue to blend everything until we obtain a mixture of a smooth and homogeneous consistency.
Using a sac a poche, fill the molds up to two thirds, approximately 70 g of dough, then place the molds in the freezer for about 5 hours or an entire night.
Let’s then take our chocolate cakes and cook them in a preheated ventilated oven at 190°C for about 13 minutes.
After 13 minutes, turn the cakes out onto a serving plate and decorate them with a sprinkling of icing sugar and serve them while still hot.
Storing chocolate cakes:
You can store the chocolate cakes even before cooking them for up to 20 days in the freezer.
Useful tips:
If you don’t have a food processor you can simply use an immersion blender.
If you want to skip the freezing step, you can immediately cook the chocolate cakes in a fan oven at 180°C for about 7 minutes. We recommend doing a first test with just one chocolate cake, so as to adjust with the subsequent ones.
