It’s the cake that rocked our childhood. Our small Proust madeleine with a highly nostalgic taste to make us smile again in just one mouthful.
For one pound cake of 6 to 8 persons / 15 min of preparation /
30 to 35 min of cooking
1. Preheat the over to 180 °C (th. 6). Melt the chocolate with the butter in a pan, at low temperature.
2. Sift the flower with the yeast and the salt in a bowl. In a large salad bowl, whip up the eggs with the sugar. Add the vanilla extract and the melted chocolate then mix. Pour in the flour-yeast mixture while stirring.
3. Divide the preparation in the cake mold lined with sulfurized paper then bake for 30 to 35 min. Verify the cooking with a knife tip: it should come out dry.
4. Allow to cool down before tasting.
