Chocolate Sunken Soufflé Cake

 Chocolate Sunken Soufflé Cake


Chocolate Sunken Soufflé Cake

A Chocolate Sunken Soufflé Cake is a rich, indulgent dessert that has a wonderfully gooey center surrounded by a slightly firm outer layer, combining the qualities of both a soufflé and a cake. It's an elegant treat for chocolate lovers and a great showstopper for dinner parties or special occasions. The "sunken" aspect refers to the slightly collapsed center, which makes this cake especially decadent.

Ingredients (Serves 6-8):

  • 200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch (23cm) round cake pan or soufflé dish and line the bottom with parchment paper.

  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter:

    • In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Let it cool slightly.

  3. Prepare the Egg Yolks:

    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until pale and creamy. Stir the melted chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture until fully combined. Add the flour and salt, and mix until smooth.

  4. Whip the Egg Whites:

    • In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. This will help the soufflé rise and provide structure.

  5. Fold the Mixtures:

    • Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the air in the whites. The batter should remain light and fluffy.

  6. Bake:

    • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly wobbly. The cake will have a sunken, cracked appearance in the middle when done.

  7. Cool and Serve:

    • Let the cake cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. It will continue to sink slightly as it cools, creating that signature "sunken" look.
    • Dust the cake with powdered sugar for a touch of elegance, or serve with a dollop of whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or fresh berries.

Tips and Variations:

  • Flavor Variations: Add a tablespoon of espresso powder or a splash of liqueur (like Baileys or Grand Marnier) to the chocolate mixture for added depth of flavor.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve warm for the most decadent experience, or let it cool slightly for a more cake-like texture.
  • Make Ahead: This cake can be made a few hours in advance and stored at room temperature. Reheat gently in the oven before serving.
