Chef's Notes

& TIPS
Ingredients Info:

eggs - use large eggs (approximately 55g)
butter - use unsalted butter for this recipe
dark chocolate - use a good quality dark cooking chocolate (you can buy cooking chocolate from the baking section of the supermarket). I like Cadbury, Nestle or Lindt brands - but you can use any good quality brand you like. Note: cooking chocolate melts easier than regular chocolate making it a perfect option for this dessert.

More Recipe Tips
Bake the cake in a water bath – refer to my detailed tips in the post above. This ensures a very rich, moist and mousse-style dessert cake.
Only bake until the edges have set – don’t overcook this cake. Simply bake until the outside edges have set (the middle will continue to cook and set once removed from the oven).
Storing – this cake can be stored in the fridge for 1-2 days. Note: the cake will harden slightly in the fridge so allow to come to room temperature before serving.
Freezing – this cake can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost in the fridge overnight before serving.
Serving suggestions – Decorate with chocolate ganache, icing sugar, fresh berries, whipped cream or sifted cocoa powder or icing sugar.

Could you half the size?

It came out exactly how it said it would and I love it! It's a small bit on the bitter side but that is what makes it even better. I did add some sugar to the mix to sweeten it, but other than that, 10/10. I am so going to me making this again!
