Chocolate cake, the French

About the recipe

We love going on a winter sports holiday to France. The advantages: straight from your apartment to the slopes, often good weather, wide slopes and delicious food. If possible, we have a piece of lemon or chocolate cake for dessert.

Preparation

The base:

In a bowl, quickly mix the flour, butter, sugar, salt and zest together.
Grease the baking tin and line the baking tin with the dough.
Prick the base and the edge with a fork.
Cover the dough and put it in the fridge for about an hour.
Preheat the oven to 180 c.
Bake the base blind for 20 minutes. (Place kitchen paper on top and add support filling (just search the internet)).

The chocolate filling:

Cut the vanilla pod in half lengthwise and put it in a pan with the chocolate and cream.
Put the pan on a low heat, let the chocolate melt and stir until it is smooth and pure.
Remove the vanilla pod.
Off the heat, beat the egg yolks into the chocolate, followed by the butter cut into cubes.
Pour the chocolate cream into the cake base and let it cool to room temperature.
