Directions

1. Step

In a bowl, mix 2 eggs, 50 g sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. Add 40 g flour and 20 g cocoa powder, and mix until a smooth batter forms. Shape the batter into a round cake and bake at 160°C (320°F) for about 10 minutes, or until firm.

2. Step

In a separate bowl, beat 5 egg whites with a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon of sugar until stiff peaks form. Melt 180 g of dark chocolate and gently fold it into the beaten egg whites. Pour the mousse mixture over the baked cake.

3. Step

In a bowl, heat 90 g of whole cream and melt 60 g of dark chocolate together. Mix well and pour the chocolate icing over the cake and mousse combination. Optionally, sprinkle almond powder on top for added texture and flavor. Let the cake cool slightly, then serve and enjoy this indulgent dessert!
