Kitchen experiment



We invited my dad, my uncle and their partners over for dinner when they were in Berlin. We made canapes, beetroot soup and for dessert I tried out this chocolate gateau recipe from Effilee magazine. It's meant to be all gooey and runny on the inside – mine wasn't. The consistency was nice, though, rich and smooth like a chocolate truffle. The cakes are flavoured with rosemary and olive oil, which was hardly noticeable, so next time I'll be a little more generous with them. And maybe add a tiny pinch of salt, too.

  1. The oven needs to be *really* hot and of course you need to take them out the very moment when no 'wet' spots can be seen on the top anymore. Then they will be all gooey and runny on the inside.

  2. Thanks for the tip Vijay! I followed the recipe, but maybe it needs to be hotter next time...

  4. Hehe, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one :) But I did think they tasted good, even if I was disappointed to not succeed with the gooeyness.
