Ingredients for 6 servings

3 eggs
100 g flour
100 g sugar
3 tbsp water
10 g powdered sugar

For the glaze:

100 g chocolate
50 g butter
For decoration
chocolate eggs, gold leaf and seasonal fruits

Step-by-step directions

1- Beat the egg yolks with the sugar and a little water. Gently add the flour while stirring with a spatula.

2- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Incorporate a quarter of the whites and beat the batter strongly. Then gently add the remaining whites (as you would for chocolate mousse).

3- Sprinkle the bottom of a silicone mold with powdered sugar, pour the batter into it and cook at 750 W power for 7 minutes in the microwave. Let cool to room temperature and unmold. Cover it with the glaze below. A good soft chocolate cake for Easter accompanied by fruit.
Glaze preparation:

4- In a saucepan, melt the chocolate broken into pieces and the butter in thin slices over low heat.

5- Mix until you obtain a homogeneous cream. Tips: For an even more indulgent cake, add crushed almonds or hazelnuts, dried grapes, or other dried fruits. This cake can be frozen.

Chef Patrick's Comment

Good recipe. But why this microwave cooking which often destructures preparations containing egg whites? Otherwise bake at medium oven at 180° (th6) for approximately 40 minutes.
