Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 10 min.

Half-cooked chocolate cake with raspberry coulis

Prepare your moulds: you can use either pastry rings, or silicon moulds.

In either case, cut out strips of cooking parchment which are 1 cm or 0.5 inch deeper than your moulds/rings.

Stage 2 - 10 min.

Place a paper strip around the inside or each ring or mould. If they are rings (bottomless) stand them on another square of cooking parchment.

Preheat oven at 180°C or 356°F.

Stage 3 - 5 min.

Chop 80 g dark chocolate with a knife, or cut in small pieces.

Stage 4 - 10 min.

Put it in a small bowl, and add 80 g butter.

Melt in a bain-marie.

Stage 5 - 3 min.

Break 2 eggs onto 70 g caster sugar and 10 g vanilla sugar.

Stage 6 - 5 min.

Beat together for around 4 or 5 minutes...

Stage 7

... until the mixture forms "ribbons", i.e. which while pouring it runs rather like a flat ribbon.

Stage 8 - 3 min.

Mix the chocolate and the melted butter well, then sieve 35 g flour on top.

Stage 9 - 2 min.

Mix well.

Stage 10 - 2 min.

Pour onto this mixture 5 or 6 tablespoons of beaten egg.

Stage 11 - 2 min.

Mix well.

Stage 12 - 2 min.

Then pour the whole into the remaining beaten eggs.

Stage 13 - 3 min.

Mix well the mixture resembles chocolate mousse.

Stage 14 - 5 min.

Pour mixture into the moulds to about ¾ the depth, and place 3 raspberries on top.

Stage 15 - 9 min.

Put in the oven for 8 to 9 minutes.

Stage 16 - 5 min.

Important: the whole point of this recipe is that the cake should only be half cooked, if not it's just a traditional chocolate cake.

At the end of the 9 minutes, tap the top of the cake, if it's a little bit crusty, it's done: take out of the oven, because it will continue cooking a little while afterwards.

The cakes can be turned out as soon as you can touch them.

Stage 17 - 5 min.

Serve on a plate, sprinkled with a little icing sugar, surrounded by raspberry coulis and decorated with mint leaves.

Remarks

You can replace raspberries with strawberries, or more surprisingly by blackcurrants.

If you do not have a coulis, you can quickly prepare a "mash of fruits" by mixing and crushing the fruits (raspberries, cut in small pieces, wild strawberries, currants...) summarily with a fork.

Keeping: To eat right now.

Tart Tatin

Tart tatin is one of the great classic desserts of French cooking. It's an apple tart cooked upside down. Apples are cooked in sugar until they caramelise. Then a circle of puff pastry is put on top, and the whole tart is baked at 356°F (180°C) for 20 minutes. To serve, the tart is turned over so that the apples are on top. Apples with caramel and crispy puff pastry taste amazing. The classic recipe uses shortcrust...

Pear tart with almond cream

This is a very quick and easy tart to make, as everything (or almost) can be done in advance. A piece of sweetcrust pastry, some almond cream and pears? You have "everything you need".

Tiramisu

Classic italian recipe (the name means "pull me up" or more poetically, "take me up to the sky"). It's similar to a charlotte in its structure: layers of flavoured biscuits between layers of smooth cream.

Vanilla sugar

Almost essential in patisserie, you can find it in expensive little sachets of about 10g. It's necessary to distinguish between the vanilla sugar which really contains vanilla, and vanillin sugar, purely chemical which has never seen a vanilla pod. Here is how to quickly make a whole jar full of your own vanilla sugar.
