So rich. It's like eating the best chocolate truffle you've ever had. The consistency is so different, but it is so satisfying to cut into it. I'm actually making it a second time now. Everyone I've had sample it has been impressed. It's very easy to make, too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08103654457459035654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-10300571803985025562018-08-16T11:08:26.047-04:002018-08-16T11:08:26.047-04:00Thanks for all the amazing recipes, I've enjoy...Thanks for all the amazing recipes, I've enjoyed loads of your amazing dishes now but unfortunately this went horribly wrong :( It didnt seem smooth when I combined the egg and the chocolate, does that mean the mixture 'broke'? No I have cooked it, it's more like a dry crumbly cake than anything else and tastes a bit 'meh' too. I baked it for 14 minutes at 200c in a fan oven which I adjusted for. Would this be over cooked or baked? I'd like to try it again but the ingredients are super expensive here in the UK. <br /><br />Thanks :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00321846109128504892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-64842805326647887092018-04-03T09:18:09.537-04:002018-04-03T09:18:09.537-04:00Hello thank you Chef for so wonderful recipes!!

First it takes me so much longer to beat the eggs to a pale shade of yellow (about 30+ minutes) and it never gets to that white fluffyness I see in the video. And that's with an electric handmixer! Second, when I finally get to the part about mixing the melted chocolate and the eggs the end result ALWAYS looks like its seperating. Very oily kinda porous lookin texture. Any ideas what i might be doing wrong?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09925228333382625700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-19871961949725415602017-01-20T14:33:34.968-05:002017-01-20T14:33:34.968-05:00I know this is two years later but anyway:
Mint p...I know this is two years later but anyway:<br /><br />Mint person: sure, if you want it chocolate-minty. A little ground hazelnut or hazelnut or almond extract sounds interesting. Knock yourself out. <br /><br />Gluten free people: in any non-bread recipe, some commercial gluten free multi-purpose flour mixture (generally something like rice flour, potato starch, pea fiber tapioca starch, and xanthan gum - that was the Pillsbury version) will substitute pretty well for wheat flour. Leaving out the flour entirely would make this a different thing. <br /><br />All those raspberry questions: If you have a supermarket, in the winter or the tropics or whatever, it has frozen raspberries. This recipe is about raspberries and chocolate, a classic tasty combo. Anything else would be something different. But if you like cherries and for some reason hate raspberries, what the hell, use cherries. If you are Swedish, I guess loganberries if you must. Blackberries, no, not really. Strawberries, well maybe. Some tropical fruit....no. And you can find a recipe anywhere. Or get out some sugar and make it up if you must. emjayayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790208989570059525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-87667204820195666252016-03-23T18:36:27.032-04:002016-03-23T18:36:27.032-04:00THIS IS AN AMAZING RECIPE!

I have made this as is, and it is HEAVENLY, but recently had a chocolate mint dessert and immediately thought of this, since a little goes a long way (due to the richness).<br /><br />Thanks in advance.<br /><br />BarbaraNahlaBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771453267194850403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-49173508936568712742015-12-20T16:25:30.502-05:002015-12-20T16:25:30.502-05:00Here is a warning to anyone making this, DO NOT DO...Here is a warning to anyone making this, DO NOT DOUBLE THE RECIPE, it will take far too long.

Used an electric egg beaten and it got real fluffy and bubbly and not thick after 5mins. Continued to beat it still but didn't change. Still I went ahead to mix it and baked and it actually turned out ok!

Maybe I had the chocolate too warm and it started cooking the eggs? Also my cake was nice and flat when I took it out of the over but an hour later it had sagged a little in the middle. I beat the eggs as hard as I could and as long as I could, but i guess it wasnt enough. I think the guess will still taste good though (still chilling it).
