Recipe: Chocolate Magic

I was CRAVING for chocolate today and this is what I came up with: I basically  improvised a chocolate truffle/molten lava cake. 

It turned out just perfect: warm molten chocolate + crunchy chocolate crust + soft whip cream + frozen cherries. Sounds like heaven? That's just how it tastes:) Complexity level? Absolutely everyone can make this cake!

I must admit that, when it comes to measurement, I was not following any specific recipe, I just added the quantity I felt was enough and/or the quantity I just had at hand:) But I tried my best to make the recipe as accurate as possible for you.

Here it goes:

Ingredients

- 300 g dark chocolate

- 200 g unsalted butter

- 150 g brown sugar

- 4 eggs

- 2 tablespoons flour

- 1 package backing powder 

Additionally:

- 100 g whip cream

- rind of 1 lemon

- frozen cherries 

How it is done

• Turn on your oven at 200 Celsius degrees.
• Melt the chocolate and butter together (either in the microwave or in a bole above boiling water). Leave aside to cool down.
• Mix the eggs and sugar with a mixer for 4 to 5 minutes until light yellow and fluffy.
• Mix the chocolate/butter and the eggs/sugar mixture together by hand.
• Add the flour and backing powder to the mixture by hand.
• Line a 22 cm round cake tin with backing paper and pour the cake mixture in the tin.
• Bake for 20 min. After 20 minutes you will notice that a crust was formed but under the crust the mixture is still more liquid than solid. That is the perfect consistency! 
• Leave to cool for 2-3 hours (or less, in case you can't resist- like me:))
• Serve with whip cream (whipped with rind of 1 lemon) and frozen cherries.

Enjoy and share with friends and family!
