Yield: One 8” cake
INGREDIENTS
- 8 oz (225g) dark chocolate or 1¼ cups dark chocolate chips
- ¼ cup Maison Orphée Coconut Oil (Maison Orphée Hazelnut Oil is a great substitute)
- ⅓ cup Nuts to You Hazelnut Butter, well stirred
- 5 eggs
- ½ cup white sugar
- Pinch flaky salt
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 325⁰F. Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch cake pan with a large piece of parchment paper. It doesn’t need to be precise; wrinkles and creases are welcome.
- Melt chocolate, Coconut Oil and Hazelnut Butter in the top of a double boiler, combining until smooth. Set aside.
- Separate egg whites from yolks. In one bowl, whip egg whites with a hand mixer on medium high until foamy. Slowly incorporate ¼ cup of sugar, one spoonful at a time. Beat on high until stiff glossy peaks form.
- In another bowl, whip egg yolks and ¼ cup of sugar with a hand mixer on medium high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- With a large metal spoon or a wide flexible spatula, add egg yolk mixture to the chocolate mixture and fold to fully incorporate.
- Add egg whites in three additions, folding gently to incorporate with each addition until no streaks remain.
- Add batter to the prepared cake pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the cake is puffy and no longer jiggly in the centre.
- Allow to cool for 15 minutes. The cake will fall, giving it a beautiful cracked texture. Sprinkle it with flaky salt and serve.
