Ingredients

Servings: 1
  • 200 g Dark chocolate
  • 150 g Butter
  • 7-10 Tbsp Fat and flour
  • 3 Eggs (Gr. M)
  • 150 g + 100 g sugar
  • 350 g Flour
  • 2 coated Tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 coated Tsp Baking soda
  • 100 ml Milk
  • 75 g unsalted roasted peanut kernels
  • 150 g Whipped cream
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 7-10 Tbsp Wood skewer

Directions

  1. 1

    Break chocolate into pieces. Melt with the butter in a hot water bath. Let it cool down a little. Grease a box mould (approx. 25 cm long; approx. 1.8 l capacity) and dust with flour.

  2. 2

    Preheat oven (electric cooker: 175°C/circulating air: 150°C/gas: level 2). Beat ##eggs## and 150 g sugar with the whisks of the mixer for 6-8 minutes until foamy. Stir the liquid chocolate mixture into the egg cream.

  3. 3

    Mix flour, baking powder and baking soda and briefly stir in alternately with the milk.

  4. 4

    Fill the dough into the box form and smooth it down. Bake in a hot oven for 50-60 minutes (see tip). Remove the cake from the oven, let it rest on a cake rack for about 10 minutes, then turn out of the tin.

  5. 5

    Prick warm cake several times with a wooden skewer.

  6. 6

    Caramelise 100 g sugar immediately. Add ##nuts## and ##cream##, bring to the boil and simmer until the caramel has dissolved. Stir in 1 pinch of salt. Spread the liquid caramel over the warm cake.

  7. 7

    Again, prick the cake several times so that the caramel flows into the holes. Let it cool down.
