A Chocolate Story — Histoire de chocolat

A Dream in Chocoland
I had mentioned earlier that this week would be the week of chocolate (still eating some eggs and need to make more), and that I was cooking a surprise – namely tomorrow.
My dream is not over.
Come back tomorrow then!
Molten Chocolate Cakes
You need:
- 150 g dark chocolate, 70 % cocoa
- 12 pieces of chocolate
- 4 eggs
- 80 g salted butter
- 90 g blond cane sugar
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
Steps:
- Preheat your oven at 475 F.
- Melt the chocolate with the butter using the bain-marie technique.
- Beat the eggs with the sugar using an electric mixer and until white in color.
- Add the cornstarch. Fold in then add the chocolate/butter preparation.
- Place in buttered individual molds (I used a popover pan).
Add the extra pieces of chocolate (2 per cake) and push them slightly in the preparation. -
Place in the oven for 10 min. Take out and let rest for 5 min before unmolding.
Serve with berries and enjoy!

Ah yes I know, sorry, I am a tease! But as we say in French, le jeu en vaut bien la chandelle (Worth it). Soon to be unveiled!
