Chocolate Gabon Cake
An old-fashioned cake that is quite similar to the Reform cake but again special and different in its own unique way. I sometimes add raisins to the chocolate filling, which are not in the original recipe I came across on the internet but are definitely a nice addition, and to add, this time I forgot to add the nuts to the crust but the cake still turned out well.
Preparation steps
- For this cake, you first need to make a filling: Whisk the butter and margarine with a mixer, then add powdered sugar. Stir a little more, then add 16 egg yolks (when breaking the eggs, immediately arrange the egg whites in 4 bowls of 4, as this will be for 4 crusts). Melt 250 g of cooking chocolate, then add it to the egg yolk filling. Allow to cool slightly (because the chocolate is hot).
- For this cake, bake 4 crusts of 4 egg whites, 4 tablespoons of sugar, 2.5 tablespoons of filling and 75 g of walnuts. Beat the egg whites into a stiff batter, add the sugar and beat a little more. When the walnuts and filling are added, the mixture should be mixed gently and carefully, then carefully shaken into a 28 cm diameter mold or into a square mold of the appropriate size. Be sure to line the mold with baking paper, as this makes the crusts much easier to separate. The crusts are baked for 14-16 minutes each at 180 ° C.
- A simpler variant of this cake is to bake two crusts of 8 eggs each in a tray measuring 25 x 39 cm, so that they are cut on the longer side, and the filling remains the same.
