Recipe's preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease a springform cake tin (22 cm) and set aside.
  2. Insert butterfly whisk. Place egg whites and salt into mixing bowl and whip 6 min/speed 3.5 or until stiff peaks form.
  3. Add 20 g of the caster sugar and mix 20 sec/speed 3.5. Remove butterfly whisk. Transfer into a bowl and set aside.
  4. Place remaining 180 g caster sugar, egg yolks and butter into mixing bowl and mix 6 min/70°C/ speed 4.
  5. Add dark chocolate, wait a few seconds for chocolate to soften and mix 20 sec/speed 5.
  6. Add flour and mix 10 sec/speed 5.
  7. Insert butterfly whisk. Add reserved whipped egg white mixture and mix 15 sec/speed 3. Remove butterfly whisk. Transfer cake batter into prepared springform tin. Bake for 10-15 minute (200°C - see Tips). Allow cake to cool for 5 minutes in the tin and serve warm.

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.

    Recipe is created for
    TM 5
    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
    Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

    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.
