Tip

If using chocolate with 70% cocoa or more, reduce amount to 200 g.

The mixing method and short baking time produces a gooey mousse-like centre. If you prefer a firmer cake, bake for 20-25 minute (180°C).

This cake is delicious served warm with vanilla ice cream.

Quick chocolate cake variation: place chocolate into mixing bowl and grate 5 sec/speed 7. Add butter and melt 4 min/60°C/speed 2. Add flour, sugar, salt and eggs and mix 15 sec/speed 5. Transfer into springform cake tin (22 cm) and bake for approx. 20 minutes (180°C).

    I really wanted some mousse this week but didn’t want to wait 2 hrs for it to set - so I made this one instead- it totally hit the spot.
    loved it.
