Mia’s Food Corner: Chocolate Truffle Cake

Minh Anh Nguyen, Freelance Writer|November 21, 2013

It was a beautiful autumn Sunday , and the gaudy sunlight was gazing  through the windows, brightening up the tedious empty kitchen with its tender warmth . I left my windows opened, welcoming waves of mild winds that delivered the beautiful

fragrance of milk flowers into the room. With such scenarios, I just couldn’t resist the temptation to bake a miraculous treat as a toast to such a miraculous day. So here it goes, chocolate truffle cake 🙂

 

You will need:

  1. 6 oz/180g Bittersweet or 50% Chocolate

  2. 3/4 cup/150g butter

  3. 4 eggs

  4. 1 cup /125g sugar (I used 80g for those of you who doesn’t like sugar, but who doesn’t besides me 😛 )

  5. 1/2 cup/60g All-purpose flour

  6. pinch salt

Let’s do it!

  1. Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Grease and flour a 9″ round cake pan or springform. If using a springform, sit it on top of a small baking sheet to bake to ensure no messes in the bottom of your oven should the pan leak.

  2. Over low heat, melt chocolate and butter in a saucepan (or use the microwave, but be careful not to burn the chocolate!), stirring frequently. Set aside to cool.

  3. Beat eggs and gradually pour sugar in a large bowl until thickened. This took forever by hand with a whisk. Stir in chocolate mixture.

  4. Gently whisk in flour and salt.

  5. Pour into prepared baking pan and bake 30 minutes or until center is set.

  6. Cool and enjoy topped with a sprinkling of powdered sugar or paired with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Have fun! 🙂
