Chocolate Bar Cake

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 2 eggs
• 50 g sugar
• 50 g flour
• ½ tsp baking powder
• 2 tbsp oil
• 300 g chocolate (milk, dark or both)

Instructions

Working time approx. 1 hour; Cooking/baking time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 25 minutes

To make the cake batter, first beat the eggs and sugar until thick and creamy. This may take a few minutes. During this time, you can mix the flour with the baking powder and brush the baking pan with oil to make it easier to remove the cake from the pan after baking. Once the egg mixture is well beaten, add the oil and sift the flour mixture into the bowl. Mix as briefly as possible until the ingredients are fully combined. Then you can pour the batter into the pan and tap the pan lightly on the work surface a few times to burst any large air bubbles. Bake the cake for 20-25 minutes at 170°C (fan oven). After baking, it should be allowed to cool completely. When it’s ready, you can carefully remove it from the pan and carefully trim the edges. The pan must then be washed and thoroughly dried. Next, you can melt the chocolate over a warm water bath. To ensure the cake is neither too bitter nor too sweet, we used a mixture of milk and dark chocolate. Using a brush, the chocolate can then be easily spread in the pan. Once the base is well coated, carefully place the cake back in the pan and spread the remaining chocolate on top. Finally, tap the pan lightly on the work surface to ensure the melted chocolate is evenly distributed. The chocolate then just needs to set in the refrigerator. Tip: If you don’t want to buy a separate baking pan, you can also make double the amount of batter and bake it in a brownie pan. After baking and letting it cool, cut off about 1/3 of the cake lengthwise and cut the narrow piece into equal-sized squares. Glue these squares to the large piece of cake with melted chocolate, thus creating a chocolate bar. Once the chocolate has set, cover the entire cake with chocolate.
