Chocolate and chilli cake with coffee cream
Serves:
Ingredients
- 250g dark chocolate, melted (Icam Choco Pasticceria)
- 250g unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp instant coffee
- 1 chilli, finely chopped
- 6 eggs
- 4 tbsp brown sugar (Lamb Brand)
- 175g caster sugar (Lamb Brand)
- 4 tbsp ground almonds (Lamb Brand)
- 3 tbsp plain flour (Lamb Brand)
- 100g broken walnuts (Lamb Brand)
You will also need
- 300ml whipping cream (Benna)
- 1 tbsp instant coffee
- 2 tbsp coffee liqueur
- Cocoa powder for dusting (Icam Choco Pasticceria)
Method
Heat oven to 180`c and grease and line a 22cm spring form cake tin with soft butter and line the bottom with baking parchment. Shake a little flour around the buttered edges. Melt the chocolate, butter, coffee powder and chilli. Whisk the egg yolks with the brown sugar and caster sugar, either in an electric mixer or with an electric hand whisk, for 5-10 minutes until thick and pale. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft rounded peaks form. Pour the chocolate mixture onto the beaten yolks and sugar, and gently mix until smooth. Add the almonds and flour and mix again. Spoon the egg whites into the chocolate mixture and gently fold together. Finally, fold in the broken walnuts. Gently pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 40-45 minutes until the cake is set but with a slight jiggle in the centre. (If the cake is starting to brown too quickly, cover with a piece of baking parchment.) Leave to cool in the tin – it will sink a little as it cools. Run a knife around the inside of the cake tin to loosen. Remove the baking parchment and place on a cake stand. In a saucepan, heat together the coffee and coffee liqueur and allow to cool. Whisk the cream until soft peaks, then fold in the coffee and liqueur mixture. Spoon the cream on top of the cake and dust with a little cocoa powder and chocolate curls.
