Quick chocolate cake a la Mäusle

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 125 g butter
• 200 g dark chocolate
• 3 eggs
• 100 ml coffee, strong (preferably espresso)
• 50 ml rum
• 100 g sugar
• 1 packet of vanilla sugar
• 220 g flour
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder, unsweetened (baking cocoa)
• 1 packet of baking powder
• 1 pinch of salt

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 10 minutes

wonderfully moist and chocolatey thanks to chocolate + cocoa

Butter and crumble a loaf pan (alternatively, rinse a silicone pan). Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (top/bottom heat). Place the butter and dark chocolate (broken into small pieces) in a bowl and melt either over a pan of simmering water or in the microwave. Stir well and let cool slightly if necessary. Then add all the remaining ingredients (from eggs to salt) all at once. Mix everything thoroughly with a large spatula. Pour the resulting batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45 to 60 minutes (use a skewer to check if it’s cooked through). Let cool for 10 minutes, then turn out of the pan onto a wire rack and let cool completely. The cake tastes great freshly baked, but even better 2 to 3 days later (store in a tightly sealed cake box in a cool place, but not in the refrigerator).
