Low Fat Chocolate Marble Cake

Just one of the treats baked this weekend. This one was for Shirley’s B-day.

Based on the recipe for Chocolate Marble Cake from Chocolate and the Art of Low Fat Desserts by Alice Medrich. I used ground coffee in the chocolate part of the batter instead of plain instant (hence the little black bits).

Today I was depressed and needed chocolate cake. So I made this…

Chocolate Espresso Cake
Serves 8

180g fine dark chocolate, chopped
a small espresso (about 3 tablespoons very strong coffee)
140g butter, diced
5 free range eggs, separated
200g golden caster sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
90g plain flour

Line the base of a 21­/23cm shallow springform cake tin with silicone baking parchment, buttering the tin lightly to hold it in place.

Melt the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. As soon as it starts to soften, add the coffee and leave it for two or three minutes. Stir very gently, then when the chocolate has melted add the butter. Stir until it has melted.

Meanwhile, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer till stiff, then fold in the sugar. Mix the baking powder with the cocoa powder and flour. Remove the chocolate from the heat, quickly stir in the egg yolks, then slowly, firmly and gently fold the melted chocolate into the egg whites. Lastly sift in the flour and cocoa mixture.

Stir the mixture tenderly with a large metal spoon, taking care not to knock out any air. It should feel light and wobbly. Do not overmix ­ just enough to fold in the flour. Scoop into the lined tin and bake in an oven preheated to 180°C/Gas 4 for thirty-five minutes. Leave to cool in its tin, then turn out.
