A 4 minute chocolate mousse cake?
Yes! This is a chocolate mousse cake baked in 4 minutes in a traditionnal oven (fan-forced).  It is rather strong in chocolate, so you don’t need much, but the first mouthful was Waho! I would not do it too often because it is rather strong, but will definitely do it again.
I rediscovered this recipe in some magazine clips I had not touched for a while. Â My clip does not say where it comes from.
You need 10 minutes to prepare and 4 minutes to bake it!
Ingredients:
- 180 g of dark cooking chocolate 60 % cocoa minimum
- 50 g butter
- 30 g flour
- 30 g caster sugar
- 3 eggs separated
Choose a mould not too wide, mine is about 18 cm diameter, closer to 15 cm would be better aesthetically.
Method:
- First, preheat the oven to 240°C
- Melt the chocolate together with the butter either in bain marie or in the microwave
- In the meanwhile, beat with a large whisk the egg yolks and sugar until light and moussy
- Add the melted chocolate and butter
- Then, add the flour
- Bring the eggwhite to snow and fold in carefully.
- Butter and flour the tin. Pour the mix in gently. Bake for 4 minutes. Â You want a thin crust on the outside and a moist middle. By the way, the recipe says, do not bake for more than an extra minute, the oven does not make so much difference.
- Cool down in the tin before unmoulding and placing on a plate.
- Dust with cocoa and/or icing sugar
- Serve with cream.
