Sea salt chocolate gourmandize

By liselottemasdupuy

This is MY MUM’s recipe!
My brothers and I have been living far from home for years now: my parents live in the center of France, Alexander studies in Britanny, Frederik works in Scotland and I am in Massachuetts. So every time we come back home, our mother, Mette, is requested to make our usual “Back-home cake”: her sea-salt chocolate cake. It is soft inside, crunchy outside, and we just cannot resist it!

Preparation

Step 1

Pre-heat the oven at 400°F.

Step 2

Melt the chocolate, milk and butter together on low heat. Stir regularly.

Step 3

Take the sauce pan off the stove.
Add the sugar. Stir.
Add the sea salt. Stir.
Add the flour. Stir.
Add the eggs. Stir.

Step 4

Pour this mixture in a well buttered baking tin (or covered with wax paper).

Step 5

Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes at 400°F – check whether it is ready by inserting a knife in the cake: the inside should be soft and the outside should be slightly crusty.

Step 6

Let the cake cool down for 15 minutes at least (it tastes better cold).
Enjoy!

It tastes good with some vanilla cream or custard ;-)
