Good evening!
It happens sometimes.
You want chocolate cake.
But you don’t want it in 5 hours.
You want it now.
Some people resort to cake mixes. I have nothing against it, I even think they are quite tasty. But I have to admit I never used any kind of mix: pancakes, cookies, brownies, cakes… I am the kind of person who thinks making it doesn’t take that much time and it is so much better (to the taste most of the time, to the ego always).
This cake is the ultimate moist chocolate cake. It is the first or second dessert (can’t remember) I’ve ever made. And it is a dessert that never failed me.
The ultimate chocolate craving cake.
Adaptation of “Gâteau moelleux au chocolat”, La cuisine des filles, Fleurus
Ingredients:
- 7 semisweet chocolate squares
- 1 1/4 cup unrefined cane sugar
- 1/4 cup earth balance buttery spread OR butter (tried both)
- 1 2/3 cup unbleached all purpose flour
- 4 eggs, whisked
Directions: Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9″x13″ baking dish. Melt the chocolate and the butter over a double broiler (I use a small metal bowl with a small saucepan).
Rapidly (or the batter will be too thick to mix and pour), transfer the chocolate to a bowl, add sugar and mix with a wooden spoon. Add eggs and mix again. Gradually mix in the flour, then pour in the baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes (a toothpick should not come out totally clean).
For the ultimate treat, serve with cream.
Serves 6-8.

Can you ask for more?
All that yummy chocolate plus the cream on top – how could it ever dissapoint? It looks fabulous, Charlie!
Yum! And I love the shout out to earth balance 😀 Thanks for sharing!
Couldn't agree more that a cake by scratch is best, and the pairing of chocolate and cream is heavenly! Thanks for posting this tried-and-true recipe!
YUM! This just gave me a choco cake craving!!!! Might try it out right now!!!
that looks delicious!
Lovely cake! I make a similar flourlesss chocolate cake that uses cocoa instead of flour and it is the richest cake in the world. I appreciate that you listed Earth Balance, we often use it because the kids are dairy intolerant and it works very well in baking.
Nope, I really can't ask for more. so easy! and definitely better than the 5 minute microwave chocolate cake! lol
That was very easy and fast, fitting for an ambush visits. Very convenient and delicious, yes, I could not ask for more except a cup of tea.
