Hot Chocolate Cakes with Cocoa Crumble, Almonds and Red Currants
This is a great recipe for cacao crumble. We will use a dark couverture chocolate with a minimum of 62% cacao (Macaé 62%), but if you would rather use something else, don’t let us hold you back. In addition to the crumble, we will also bake delicious almond cookies on the Big Green Egg.
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE CAKES
50 g egg yolk
150 g egg
150 g sugar
170 g Macaé 62%, Valrhona
170 g butter
75 g all-purpose flour, sieved
1 g salt
AND ALSO
Redcurrant jam
10 bunches of redcurrants
Atsina Cress or mint
FOR THE CRUMBLE
75 g butter, in small blocks
75 g flour, sieved
75 g sugar
15 g cocoa powder
FOR THE ALMOND BISCUITS
275 g castor sugar
60 g all-purpose flour
4 g baking powder
150 g blanched almonds, lightly roasted and ground
72 g egg white
PREPARATION
Heat the Big Green Egg to a temperature of 160°C. Place the convEGGtor and Stainless Steel Grid in the EGG, and allow to return to temperature. Mix all the ingredients for the crumble in the food processor. Spread the crumble over a Deep Dish Baking Stone covered with baking paper, place on the grid and close the dome. Leave to dry for 10-15 minutes.
Meanwhile mix all the dry ingredients for the biscuits and stir in the egg white. Place a sheet of baking paper on the Baking Stone and spoon small heaps of the mixture onto this. Remove the Deep Dish Baking Stone with the crumble out of the EGG, place the Baking Stone on the grid and bake the biscuits (in batches) for about 10 minutes, with the dome closed, until cooked and crunchy. You will bake more biscuits than you need for this dish. Keep the leftovers in a biscuit barrel and serve them at another time.
Raise the temperature of the EGG to 190°C. For the cakes, beat the egg yolks, eggs and sugar in a bowl until light. Place the chocolate and butter in a bowl and melt in the microwave oven.
Stir the melted chocolate through the lightly beaten egg mixture and then stir in the flour. Fill aluminium moulds three-quarters full with the mixture and add a spoonful of jam to the top. Place the moulds on the Baking Stone, close the dome and bake the cakes for about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the crumble and garnish with an almond biscuit, the redcurrants and Atsina Cress or mint.
