Moelleux or mi-cuit au chocolat inspired by Michel Bras

Ingredients required

For a smooth, creamy, crunchy cake, you need :

200g dark chocolate
200g of salted butter
100g rapadura or muscovado sugar or coconut or palm sugar...
4 whole eggs and 4 yolks
60g of flour

The preparation

Melt the chocolate and butter in a bain-marie.
Whisk the eggs with the sugar.
When the butter and chocolate mixture is homogeneous and slightly cooled, combine it with the whitened eggs and sugar.
Add the flour and mix.
You can put this mixture in ramekins or in lined circles on an ovenproof tray with baking paper underneath.

Tips: Your moelleux should be kept in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.

Baking time: Baking time is 7 minutes in an oven at 200 degrees.

Tips: If you have chosen to bake in circles, a few minutes after removing from the oven, use a small thin knife to cut around the cake to help unmould it.

You can accompany your cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a custard, a passion fruit or raspberry coulis...
