Steps to make Richard Sax's Chocolate Cloud Cake:
  1. Line cake pan with parchment paper at the bottom.

Do not use any butter to grease the pan. You can use water droplets to prevent the paper from moving.

Preheat oven to 175 degree celsius or 350 fahrenheit.

Prepare a double boiler.

Melt chocolate in the double boiler.

  1. Magnum dark chocolate contains raw cacao nibs and cocoa butter. If you can’t get your hands on Magnum, add 1 TBSP of finely chopped raw cacao nibs.*
  2. Remove from heat and add in butter and salt.

Stir until the butter has melted completely.

In a large bowl, add in egg yolks, eggs and sugar.

Using a hand or stand mixer, whisk until well combined and sugar has dissolved.

  1. Fold in the chocolate mixture, cognac and orange zest.

Gently fold to combine well.

In another large bowl, add egg whites.

Using a hand or stand mixer, whisk until light and frothy.

  1. Add in sugar and continue whisking until glossy and soft peaks form.

Gently fold the egg whites, in quarter portions, into the yolks mixture until fully incorporated.

Carefully transfer into the prepared cake pan.

Wack into the oven and bake for 35 to 40 mins.

  1. The sides should rise and crack. The center should not be wobbly.

Do not bake more than 40 mins.

Grate some more dark chocolate to garnish the cake.
