Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 60 min
Total time: 80 min
Yield: 1
Ingredients: ¼ cup cake flour (weigh your flour; for weights, click the Metric button above; or use the “fluff and sprinkle“ method and level it off; you can make homemade cake flour); ¾ cup Dutch-process cocoa powder (for weights, click the Metric button and weigh your cocoa powder; or use the same “fluff and sprinkle“ method and level it off; I use Guittard cocoa powder); ⅛ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt; 5 large eggs (50 g each w/o shell) (at room temperature); 9 Tbsp unsalted butter (at room temperature; 1 stick plus 1 Tbsp); ¾ cup chocolate chips (I recommend combining ½ cup (100 g) of semi-sweet (46% cacao) and ¼ cup (50 g) of extra dark (63% cacao); use good-quality baking chips); ½ cup sugar (for the egg yolks); 2 Tbsp milk (at room temperature; you can use heavy (whipping) cream for a richer taste); ½ cup sugar (for the egg whites); For the Strawberry and Whipped Cream Decoration (option 1):; ⅔ cup heavy (whipping) cream (keep it cold); 4 tsp sugar (10% weight of the heavy cream); confectioners’ sugar (for dusting); ½ lb strawberries (tops removed); fresh mint leaves; For the Quick Raspberry Decoration (option 2):; 10 raspberries; confectioners’ sugar (for dusting; I used non-melting snow sugar available at King Arthur or Amazon)
