The Ultimate Chocolate Cake

Like her sister Auntie F. Ma also suffers from OCD. However, like myself, she tries to use this productively. A huge amount of her time is spent in the kitchen with a wide selection of recipe books, and one of her cooking passions is the making of the ultimate chocolate cake.

Inspired by her Israeli sister-in-law she now has a new recipe for the ultimate chocolate cake. Check this one out –if you dare!

Ingredients:
7 eggs
400g dark chocolate
200g unsalted butter
3 tablespoons of Grand Marnier or Cointreau

As you can see, this is not for the feint-hearted

Instructions
Place the eggs (direct from the fridge is best) into a food-processor or blender for 8 minutes or until light, thick, fluffy and creamy.

fluffy eggs

Break the chocolate up into small pieces and add butter. Place in a bowl and microwave for about 90 - 120 seconds. Then mix it up well.

Once the eggs are fully mixed, fold in about a third of the chocolate/butter mix.
Once fully folded, add the remaining two thirds, again folding it in until there is a consistency of colour. Add in the liquor.

Place the mixture in a large grease-proofed cake tin (23cm)


Bake in a preheated oven at 150 degrees Celsius (300 degrees Fahrenheit) for 40 minutes with a tin of water underneath.


So simple, so easy and so awesome.
