I rarely eat dessert, but when I do I like it to be rich, chocolaty and if possible at all....health-ish...
This is my favourite cake for many reasons. It tastes great, it's gluten-free and and so rich that you won't be able to have much..:)
Ingredients:
10 packs of walnuts from M&S
3 Green & Black milk chocolate bars
2 Green & Black dark chocolate bars
Coconut powder
8 oz (200ml) semi-skimmed milk
3 spoonfuls of butter
2 spoonfuls of powdered sugar
10 eggs separated
vanilla
 |
| Process the walnuts in a food processor until finely
ground |
 |
| Separate the egg whites |
 |
| Whip the egg whites till they form soft peaks |
 |
| Add 6 yolks ... and beat them together with the whites |
 |
| Add a splash of vanilla extract |
 |
| Add the walnut flour to the whipped eggs |
 |
| Add 2 spoonful of powdered sugar to the mixture |
 |
| Grease the baking dish with butter and spread a thin (3-4mm) layer of the mixture |
 |
| Preheat oven to 180 degrees and bake for 10 minutes |
 |
| Repeat the above step 3 times. Leave the 3 layers aside to cool down |
 |
For the icing melt the chocolate bars at low heat
|
 |
| Add 3 spoonfuls of unsalted butter to the icing |
 |
....and 2 spoonfuls of cocoa powder and milk.
Stir until you get a homogeneous mixture |
 |
| ....this is NOT part of the recipe:) |
 |
After baking and cooling, stack the layers on top of eachother
and frost in between, on top, and on the sides |
 |
| Leave the cake in the fridge for at least couple of hours before serving |
 |
| Bon Appetit!! |
