Recipe type/ Τύπος Πιάτου: Dessert
- 120 gr. / 4 oz. chocolate 60% cocoa
- 110 gr. / 4 oz. butter or margarine
- 4 eggs
- 150 gr. / 5 oz. sugar
- 60 gr. / 2 oz. all purpose flour
- 15 gr. / 1 tbsp cocoa
- 2 tbsp Cointreau
- ¼ tsp orange extract
- Melt chocolate and butter/margarine in a glass bowl on microwave.
- If you want to melt chocolate or chocolate/butter in the microwave, you place them in a glass bowl and put it in the microwave.
- In high temperature you microwave for 30 sec.
- You remove, mix a bit and again to the microwave for another 30 sec.
- You repeat this procedure until the chocolate is melted.
- In this way you avoid burning the chocolate.
- Let the chocolate aside to cool a bit.
- In your stand mixer mix the eggs with the sugar for five minutes.
- Pour the melted chocolate and continue to mix.
- Add the flour and cocoa powder after you have sieved them together and mix.
- Add the Cointreau and orange extract and mix for a sec.
- Preheat oven to 200°C / 400° F.
- Pour the batter in a well-buttered and floured round pan with diameter 20cm / 8 in.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove, let cool a bit and serve.
- I would suggest serving it with a dollop of vanilla ice cream or plain heavy cream.
