Instructions
-
Prepare the Oven & Pan:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a springform pan with butter, dust it lightly with flour, and set aside. -
Melt Chocolate & Butter:
Melt the dark chocolate and butter over a double boiler (or “Baine Marie”). Stir until smooth, then remove from heat and allow it to cool completely. -
Separate the Eggs:
Separate the egg yolks and egg whites into two bowls. -
Whisk Egg Whites:
In a stand mixer, whisk the egg whites on medium speed until frothy. Gradually add the sugar and continue whisking until stiff peaks form. -
Mix the Chocolate Mixture:
Once the chocolate has cooled, stir in the egg yolks, vanilla extract, salt, and paprika powder. Gently fold these ingredients together using a spatula. -
Combine Egg Whites & Chocolate Mixture:
Gradually fold the stiff egg whites into the chocolate mixture. Be gentle to maintain the aeration in the batter. -
Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and bake at 170°C (340°F) for about 35 minutes. Check for doneness by gently shaking the pan; the cake should be firm in the center. -
Cool & Refrigerate:
Let the cake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for about 20 minutes to achieve a fudgy texture.
Prepare the Chocolate Ganache
-
Heat the Cream:
In a small saucepan, heat the fresh cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer (do not boil). -
Melt the Chocolate:
Pour the hot cream over the chopped dark chocolate and let it sit for a minute. Stir until smooth and glossy. -
Assemble the Cake:
Once the cake has chilled, pour the ganache evenly over the top. Refrigerate again until the ganache sets.
