I promise the next post will be dedicated to a few different dish. But allow me to post this cake that I made in collaboration with my husband for dinner yesterday. Tomorrow will be the birthday of your husband, and yesterday we held a family dinner that ended with this cake. The menu itself was fairly light, just right to leave the sweet. I'll tell you briefly what we have prepared (unfortunately I did not do pictures because I was committed to Sautee):
Appetizer: Smoked salmon and sea bass fillet marinated, vol-au-vent with shrimp cocktail
First Risotto Sparkling
Second salted sea bass and roasted potatoes.
And now .... here's the cake
Fondant au chocolat (recipe taken from "Modern Kitchen Gold - 500 cakes for a party")
Ingredients: 300g good quality dark chocolate, 100g butter, 100g sugar, 5 eggs, 2 tablespoons of flour, a tablespoon of cocoa powder, a tablespoon of rum (I put the cointreau), is a pinch salt, chocolate chips for decorating.
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler with the butter. Whip the egg yolks with sugar and a tablespoon of rum. Add the sifted flour and cocoa and the warm melted chocolate. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt. Add the egg whites to the mixture with the chocolate amalgamating them from top to bottom so as not remove them. Pour the mixture into a 22cm diameter pan covered with parchment paper. Cook 30 min at 160 °. Turn out and once cold decorate with chocolate flakes.
