Moist Chocolate Cake

This chocolate cake is super delicious and moist with a deep chocolate flavor. The cake contains no eggs, making it a bit easier and cheaper to make. It also means it can be soft in the middle. Top with a delicious chocolate cream. It can be adjusted, for example, with white chocolate instead. The cake is delightful on its own, so the cream can easily be omitted.

Financiers

Financiers

Financiers is a traditional French cake where the main ingredient is almonds. Financiers use egg whites as a leavening agent. The small cakes have a characteristic shape like a small rectangle. I bought my molds at Kunst og Køkkentøj. Financiers are simple and delicious, and can be easily varied with, for example, berries or chocolate. If you have leftover egg whites from another baking session, they can be advantageously frozen in a sealed bag. Just thaw them before use.
