Original france

A few more words about this wonderful French chocolate tart. Originally this tart / cake is called Gâteau au Chocolat, which means something like chocolate cake. There are innumerable variations of recipes for this chocolate pleasure. The chocolatey secret does not lie in the complexity, but in a few, but high-quality ingredients. The cake will rise easily when baked, unbelievable but true, and without any baking powder. Take the mold out of the oven and let the chocolate tart in the mold cool completely for about 2 hours. During this time the cake collapses again. Don't bake the tart too long, because the original French chocolate tart is still soft on the inside. My tart got a few cracks because I am currently baking in mom's oven and I could not assess it exactly. But that didn't take away anything from the ingenious chocolate enjoyment. The time how long you bake the French chocolate tart also depends on the baking pan used (porcelain, steel) and your oven.
So now back to our pure chocolate pleasure and how I baked it.

250 gr butter  250 gr dark chocolate / cooking hocolate min. 70% Kakao 200 gr sugar 5 pieces eggs  3 EL flour 1 pinch Fleur de Sel salt 2 packg Bourbon-vanilla sugar lemon or orangen peel 1  piece powder sugar or cacao for topping       Also :   tarteform 26-28 cm   watter bowel   mixer   pastry brush or baking spray   bowel

Lucina´s tips: You can simply use baking spray to grease the mold - I like to use it because it is quick and effective. With a baking spray, you don't need additional flour to dust the mold. You can like the cake with a little whipped cream or e.g. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The tart can also be baked gluten-free without flour. Provided if you want to bake them gluten-free, just use (gluten-free) starch instead of flour. I have already baked the tart with 3 tablespoons of ground almonds.

I did it that way:

So that the oven is hot when the cake is added for baking, preheat it to 200 ° C.

Grease the mold with a little butter, so that the cake after baking
can be easily removed from the mold. The best way to do this is to use a baking brush.
Lightly grease the tart pan with butter and spread thinly breadcrumbs on top.

Roughly chop the chocolate and melt in a metal bowl over a hot water bath. Add the butter in pieces and melt everything evenly while stirring.
Set aside and let cool slightly.

In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with sugar, a pinch of salt and the 2 packs of vanilla sugar until creamy for a few minutes.

Stir in the liquid chocolate and add the flour.
Mix together the lemon zest to a smooth dough. Fill the dough into the mold. Smooth out if necessary.

Bake on the middle shelf at 180 degrees for about 20-25 minutes.
Then it should be really juicy.
If you like it a little drier, you should bake it for 35-40 minutes.
As always, this is somewhat dependent on the oven.

Then let the cake cool, dust with icing sugar or cocoa on a stencil
(I helped myself a little differently in this case)and if necessary with fruit, e.g. Garnish strawberries or raspberries.
