Chinese Chocolate Cake Recipe



*   *   *
Here is the recipe for Ming Ming's chocolate cake,
as requested by Susan
of
 My Mother's Apron Strings.

I thought I would post it exactly as I received it...

A:糖粉+鸡蛋+搅拌+打发+低筋面粉+搅拌(手动)+可可粉+搅拌(手动)+黄油+搅拌(手动)+倒入模具+烘焙15分钟(160摄氏度)+自然冷却+切割(2至3片圆型蛋糕)=待用

B:奶油+打发+巧克力(液态)+搅拌(手动)+可可粉(5克)+搅拌=待用
C:蛋糕+B(涂抹1.5cm厚度)+蛋糕+B(涂抹剩下的B)+可可粉(用网筛)

...but perhaps not.
Here is the translation,
 with step-by-step photographs,
sent with love,
by Ming Ming.

Ingredients for the cake:

2 eggs (120g)
50g plain flour
60g sugar powder (?icing sugar)
10g butter
10g cocoa powder

Pre heat the oven to 160C

Whisk together the eggs and the icing sugar
until light and fluffy.
Melt the butter.



Really whisk the eggs and sugar!

fold in the flour and cocoa powder

and bake at 160 degrees C,
for approx 15 minutes


Allow the cake to cool.
slice in three horizontally

Gather together the ingredients for the filling and topping...

200g whipping cream
100g dark chocolate (sweet)
5g cocoa powder + 5g for sieving over the top










Whisk the cream until stiff,  add the melted chocolate and 5g of the cocoa powder.

Then sandwich the cake together,
reserving some of the frosting for the top.







Sieve the remaining cocoa powder over the top...
eat and enjoy!



Thanks Ming Ming.

Just a thought, Jonny,

  9. I think I'll just try and follow Ming Ming's original recipe. It couldn't end up any worse than it would if I followed the English translation!

    Wonderful photos!
