Fondant au ChocolatAt the Christmas Fair, the most popular dessert was of course French - Fondant au Chocolat. French classic and very easy to boot. E, a mother from France made it, which reminded me that I used to do so quite alot myself but have stopped doing so about 2 years ago and do not even know why. Maybe 'coz it's too rich?
But I started making it again last week, just chocolate, with bananas, mixed with white chocolate etc etc. And I'm going to make it for Baby Girl's Birthday party on Saturday next week.
For about 10 Muffin-sized Cakes :
200g Dark good-quality Chocolate
150g Sugar
125g Butter
3 Eggs
50g Flour
Break the chocolate and butter into pieces and microwave them for a minute or 2 till they become soft. Mix well till they become creamy and set the mixture aside to cool a little. If you wish to add a bit of orange taste to it, add in some grated orange zest.
Beat the sugar and eggs till thick and fluffy. Stir in the chocolate mixture.
Fold in the flour gently and take care to mix it well.
Grease a cake mould and pour in the mixture.
Bake at 190ºC in a pre-heated oven for 15 minutes (20 if you want a more compact cake as otherwise the heart of the cake will be slightly uncooked). If doing individual portions, 10-12 minutes will do.
Serve with some whipped cream or vanilla ice-cream if you wish.
Absolutely delicious if I may say so. But watch out for the calories.
