Ingredients
- 150 g unsalted butter
- 240 g sugar
- 70 g unsweetened cacao powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 2 eggs, cold
- 70 g all purpose flour
Instructions
- Put the butter, sugar, cacao, salt and vanilla essence in the bowl where you're going to whip them up later.
- Put the bowl on a bain-marie without touching the surface of the water until everything is melted and mixed together.
- Remove the bowl from the bain marie and wait 5min for it to cool down a bit. You should be able to touch the outside of the bowl without burning yourself.
- Mix using a stand or hand-held mixer and add the eggs one at a time. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Add the flour and mix for 2min on high speed.
- Line the mould with baking paper and take to a preheated oven at 160C for 20-30min or until you can insert a toothpick at the center and it comes out with a bit of dough (we don't want it to dry out completely).
- Let cool and cut.
