Flourless Chocolate Cake With Apple Cider Sabayon Recipes

FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and butter the inside of a spring-form pan. Melt the chocolate and butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat; stirring frequently until smooth. Stir in the sugar, cocoa powder and salt until all of the lumps are gone. Remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes.
• Meanwhile, beat the egg whites in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until they form stiff peaks, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir the egg yolks into the cooled chocolate mixture, then stir in about a quarter of the whipped egg whites. Scrape this lightened chocolate mixture into the remaining whipped egg whites and gently fold until mostly combined (it's ok if there are some streaks of egg white). Pour into the prepared pan and bake until the center of the cake no longer wiggles, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan, on a wire rack (the cake will deflate slightly). Unlock the pan and dust the top of the cake with some cocoa powder. Cut into slices and serve with whipped cream.

• Remove the cake from the oven and invert onto a rack over a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Pour the ganache over the cake. Allow the cake to cool and set for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh berries and powdered sugar.

FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH APPLE CIDER SABAYON

Steps:

• Cake: Melt chocolate over a water bath. Dissolve the sugar in one cup of water. Add vanilla and bring to a simmer. Bring off the heat and let cool slightly. Add syrup to chocolate whisking to combine. Continue whisking and add the eggs and egg yolks one at a time. Add the salt. Add butter a little at a time. Bake at 350 in a water bath for 30-40 minutes, or until the surface starts to crack (subtle cracks only!). Let cool at room temperature and then chill in the fridge until set. Tips: the water bath should be about half way up the container you bake the cake in. I would bake the cake in something long and narrow. If you have a terrine that would be great. I don't so I used the smallest loaf pan I could. The cake comes out as a compact and heavy loaf sized cake (it doesn't actually rise at all). Then you can cut it into narrow/thin slabs to serve. It's very intense so really small portions is appropriate. Sabayon: Over a water bath whisk the yolks, sugar and cider until thickened and ribbons form. Whisk the cream and the vanilla separately until soft peaks form. When the yolks cool fold in the cream. Serving ideas: I served it with a Sabayon and garnished with a couple of cape gooseberries. You could also serve with a dollop of creme fraiche or even a fruit coulis. Yummy!
