Ingredients
- 2 large fresh eggs (about 3.5 oz or 100 g without shell)
- 2.5 oz hot chocolate powder (70 g)
- 2.5 oz self‑raising flour (70 g)
Instructions
-
1) Whisk the eggs until pale and lightly foamy. Don't overbeat the eggs.
-
2) Add the hot chocolate powder and whisk until fully dissolved.
-
3) Fold in the self‑raising flour gently until just combined into a rich batter.
-
4) Pour the batter into a 7" x 4.53 x 2.5" (20 × 11.5 × 5 cm) ceramic dish and cover tightly with tinfoil.
-
5) Steam over a gentle simmer for 13 to 15 minutes, depending on how fluffy or custardy you want it.
-
6) Let the steamed hot chocolate cake rest for 5 minutes before slicing — it sets as it cools. Fresh and lukewarm out of the oven is the best way to enjoy this cake!
