Just like Nathalie’s gateau, this recipe, which first appeared in Food for friends, was such a success that I just had to include it in this book. A great classic that always makes a big impression.

Ingredients

  • 400 g (14 oz) bitter chocolate
  • 125 g (4

Method

Melt the chocolate with the butter in a microwave oven or bain-marie.

Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture is pale.

Combine the 2 mixtures, beating with a whisk, then add the whipped cream. Transfer the mixture to a loaf tin lined with cling film. You could use shaped tins instead for an effect like that shown in the illustration. Leave to chill in a refrigerator
