Everyone must have tried a delicious chocolate cake. But if you haven’t tried making this heavenly dessert, you are missing out on a lot. Only requires a total of 3 ingredients and the cake will be scrumptious. It is a flourless 3 ingredient chocolate cake! Now if you are not aware about the fact that a cake with 3 ingredients is possible, then wait a bit and scroll down. We have shared the recipe below. Without any further ado, let’s get started with the recipe.
Ingredients
- 8 cold large eggs
- 16 tbsp unsalted butter in 16 pieces
- 450 gm semisweet, dark chocolate coarsely chopped
- Powdered sugar or Berries (Optional for frosting!)
Recipe/Instructions
- Place the oven rack to the lower-centre position and heat the stove to 325 degrees F.
- Line the base of an 8-inch container/pan with waxed paper or parchment paper and oil the sides of the dish. (Make sure to oil the sides really well!) Wrap the outside of the pan with 2 sheets of heavy aluminium foil and set it in a huge broiling pan, or any dish that is bigger than the pan used earlier. Bring a kettle of water to boil.
- In a stand blender utilizing the whisk attachment, beat the eggs faster until the volume doubles. This usually takes around five minutes.
- In the meantime, dissolve the butter and chocolate together. You can either do this in a double kettle on the oven (by putting the chocolate and butter in a heatproof container, set over a container of nearly stewing water, and blending until softened and smooth). Or on the other hand, you can do this in the microwave (by warming the butter and chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, blending in between, until the chocolate and butter are dissolved and smooth).
- Now fold about ⅓ rd of the beaten eggs into the chocolate blend utilizing an rubber spatula until just a few dashes of egg are noticeable. Fold in half of the rest of the egg foam, and afterwards the remaining of the foam, until the blend is absolutely homogenous.
- Put the batter into the readied pan and smooth the surface with an rubber spatula. Place the broiling pan on the oven rack and very cautiously pour in enough boiling water to cover almost half of the pan. Heat until the cake has risen marginally, the edges are simply starting to set, a slightly coated layer (like a brownie) has formed on the level, and an instant read thermometer inserted in between of the cake gives the reading of 140 degrees F. It will take around 25 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the water bath and set on a wire rack; cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until cool. (The cake can be refrigerated for as long as 4 days.)
- Around 30 minutes before serving the cake, gently remove the sides of the pan, alter the cake onto a sheet of waxed paper, strip off the parchment paper, and re-invert the cake onto a plate. If you want to decorate it or frost it, gently dust the cake with powdered sugar and top with berries. To cut, utilize a sharp, dainty bladed knife, wiping the blade into a pitcher of heated water and cleaning the cutting edge before each cut.
So, that was the complete 3 ingredients chocolate cake recipe! Just like this, you can also make oreo cake with 3 ingredients and many more cakes. The process is similar to the one we have mentioned above. If that’s too much for you, online bakeries are always available to serve you with delicious cakes. Happy eating! Happy baking!
