Preparation of the chocolate cake with a soft centre

Chop the chocolate and add to the butter

1. Start by breaking up your chocolate bars. Place the pieces in a bowl with the butter and melt everything in the microwave. You can, alternatively, melt the ingredients in a saucepan over a bain-marie.

Combine sugar, butter and melted chocolate

2. Meanwhile, in a rather large bowl, place the eggs and sugar and begin to beat everything with a whisk for about 10 minutes. When the mixture is light and frothy , add the melted chocolate with the butter and mix well.

Add cocoa and sifted flour

3. Finally add the bitter cocoa and the sifted flour, to prevent any lumps from forming.

4. Now let's see how the flans are cooked, a very important phase of our recipe. In fact, the secret of the soft center lies in not overcooking the cakes. If you don't want to make mistakes, use a toothpick to check the internal consistency of your flans or cook a sample one as a test!
