Name: Moist Chocolate Chip Cake
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 50 min
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients: 100 grams dark chocolate (chopped); 80 ml milk; 50 grams unsalted butter (melted); 25 grams cocoa powder; 30 grams cake flour; 3 eggs (separated into yolks and whites); 5 grams lemon juice; 50 grams sugar; Chocolate chips (for topping)

Directions

1.

Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces. Place it in a microwave-safe bowl with milk and microwave for 1 minute until melted. Stir to combine. Sift the cocoa powder and cake flour into the chocolate mixture and mix well. Add the egg yolks and melted butter, then use a hand whisk or mixer to combine until smooth. Set aside.

2. Step

In a clean, dry bowl, add the egg whites and lemon juice. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until foamy. Gradually add the sugar while beating until stiff peaks form. This creates a meringue.

3. Step

Gently fold the meringue into the chocolate batter in three parts, being careful not to deflate the mixture. Ensure everything is well combined.

4. Step

Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined 15 cm (6-inch) cake pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly on top.

5. Step

Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving.
