Ingredients for four people:
100g (3½ oz) all purpose flour
100gr (3½ oz) sugar
100gr (3½ oz) unsalted butter
250gr dark (9 oz)chocolate, flaked
3 eggs, whites and yolks separated.
1 tsp baking powder
1 small glass of marsala (a fortified Sicilian wine), or an orange-based liqueur.
Melt 100gr (3½ oz) of chocolate in a small pan, on a very low heat or using the bain-marie technique. Take off the heat and add the butter, let it melt and gently stir.
Pre-heat the oven at at 180°c (356°F).
In a separate bowl, mix the yolks and sugar together until pale yellow and foamy. Sift the flour and the baking powder, and add them to the rest of the mix a tablespoon at the time, stirring with a wooden spoon until the dry ingredients are completely incorporated. Whisk the egg whites (with a pinch of salt) until firm then add to the mix and stir.
Finely chop the remaining chocolate and add to the cream mix and stir for a couple of more minutes.
Pour the mix in a rectangular cake tin and bake in the oven for 45 minutes.
Once out of the oven, let it cool down to room temperature, then cut the cake into bite-size cubes. Put some of the marsala wine or orange liqueur on a dish, so that there is only a thin layer. Put the cubes on the dish and let them absorb the liqueur, then turn them upside down (wet side up) and lay them on a serving dish. Repeat the operation with the rest of the cubes.
This is a very easy recipe, once you’re comfortable with it why not try an Italian tiramisu recipe. If, on the other hand you like more straightforward uses of chocolate, then a chocolate fondue fountain would probably suit you best as the only “cooking” you have to do is melting the chocolate in the microwave.
