Chocolate Hazelnut Meringue Cake Fresh Chocolate Hazelnut Meringue Cake



INGREDIENTS




For chocolate hazelnut meringue cake:






  • 240 grams dark chocolate, chopped

  • 180 grams unsalted butter, chopped

  • 2 eggs

  • 4 eggs, extra, separated

  • 90 grams brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 50 grams all-purpose flour, sifted

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder, sifted

  • 40 grams toasted and ground hazelnuts (can also use ground
    almonds)

  • 220 grams granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch, sifted

  • 25 grams cocoa powder, sifted, plus extra for dusting





















































INSTRUCTIONS






  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease a 9-inch (24 cm) round
    spring form cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. 

  2. In a heatproof bowl, combine the chocolate and butter and
    place over a pot of boiling water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl isn’t
    touching the water. We want to use the steam to gently melt the chocolate and
    butter. Stir occasionally until the mixture is melted then set aside and let
    cool slightly. 

  3. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the whisk
    attachment, add the eggs, 4 egg yolks, brown sugar, and vanilla and mix on
    medium-high speed for 3-4 minutes, until light and fluffy. Meanwhile, combine
    the flour, baking powder, and ground hazelnuts and mix well. 

  4. Once the egg mixture is light and fluffy, add cooled melted
    chocolate mixture and gently fold to incorporate. Then add the flour mixture
    and gently fold until combined. 

  5. Pour cake batter into prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35
    minutes. Take the cake out of the oven and set aside while you make the
    chocolate meringue. 

  6. Increase the oven temperature to 350°F. In the bowl of an
    electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the egg whites on
    medium-low. Once the egg whites form soft peaks, gradually add the sugar in a
    slow and steady stream. Don’t just dump it in! Add the vinegar and increase the
    speed to high and whisk for another 2-3 minutes until the meringue is thick and
    glossy. 

  7. In the meantime, combine the cornstarch and cocoa powder and
    sift to remove any clumps. 

  8. Once the meringue is thick and glossy, gently fold in the
    cornstarch and cocoa powder until combined. Spoon the meringue on top of the
    partially cooked cake. 

  9. Bake for another 20-25 minutes or until the meringue is
    crisp and cooked. 

  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before
    running a knife around the edge of the cake and gently removing from the spring
    form pan. Allow the cake to cool and then refrigerate for 2 hours before
    serving. Dust with cocoa powder to serve.
