Isaura – It took me a couple attempts myself. I used semi sweet chips but the original recipe called for bitter sweet. I’m a bit confused because the recipe doesn’t call for flour. That may be the problem. My first attempt went bad by mixing the egg white mixture and chocolate too much and too roughly. It worked when I folded the two together gently keeping the air/fluff in the mix.

I tried this cake recipe few hours ago but somehow couldn’t achieve the same result as you, my cake definitely wasn’t looking that good (but tasted fine). What kind of chocolate do you use? Maybe it’s coming from the flour I used, I have a gluten intolerance so I used chickpea flour instead of regular wheat flour.

Minced – Not in my world. I’m a serious chocoholic. This fits me to a T.

Nags – I love how this looks too!

– Once you take the melted chocolate and butter off the stove you mix a few seconds more then set aside. I’d say I whipped the egg whites and sugar for a couple/few minutes so the chocolate set at room temp for about 5 minutes. It’s not super hot but it’s still melted.

– Straight from the freezer to the oven.

Try it! Just don’t get discouraged. It took me a couple times to get it just right but each time the failures still tasted great and didn’t go to waste. I halved the recipe so I could experiment with a smaller batch.

love how that looks!!

2 questions:

– how cool (or warm) is the chocolate when you mix the yolks into it?
– do you stick the mugs in the oven fresh out of the oven or do you need to let it thaw or something?

waiting to try this out!
