Method

1️⃣ Prep Your Eggs

Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a cake tin with baking paper.

Separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing them into two separate bowls.

Whip the egg whites until light and fluffy, then set aside.

2️⃣ Mix the Egg Yolks

Add erythritol to the egg yolks according to your preferred sweetness.

Whisk together until well combined.

3️⃣ Add the Chocolate 🍫

Melt the dark chocolate with a splash of milk until smooth.

Pour the melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture and stir until combined.

4️⃣ Add the Dry Ingredients

Add the self-raising flour and Cacao Hazelnut Plant Protein.

Mix until you have a smooth, chocolatey batter.

5️⃣ Fold in the Egg Whites

Gently fold the whipped egg whites through the chocolate mixture.

Take your time with this step and avoid overmixing so you keep as much air in the batter as possible.

6️⃣ Start Baking

Pour approximately ¾ of the cake batter into your lined cake tin, reserving the remaining quarter for later.

Bake at 180°C for 20 minutes.

7️⃣ Make It Extra Fudgy

Remove the cake from the oven and pour the remaining batter over the top.

Return it to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes.

8️⃣ Cool & Slice

Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing.

Then dig into that soft, fudgy centre while it’s still a little warm. 🤎

When to Have It

This one is for those days when only chocolate cake will do.

Make it for an afternoon sweet treat, serve it for dessert or enjoy a slice slightly warm when the chocolate cravings hit.
