Milk-free Hot Chocolate And My Favourite Chocolate Cake Recipe

September 6th, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

Depending on which hemisphere you live on, the cold season has just finished or it is about to begin. In any case this really doesn’t seem the right moment for a hot chocolate, but do you really need a reason to prepare one? Besides, this one is milk-free, so it is great for lactose intolerant.

Ingredients for four people:
1300ml (2¾ pints) soy milk
16 small marshmallows
350gr (12 oz) dark chocolate
1 pinch of nutmeg

Put the soy milk and the chocolate in a small pan on a low heat until the chocolate has melted and mix well until it is almost boiling, then take off the heat and set aside to five minutes cool.
In the meantime, take four ramekins or small cups and put four marshmallows in each one of them. Pour the hot chocolate and complete with a pinch of nutmeg, or cinnamon or chocolate flakes.
This milk free hot chocolate can become the perfect chocolate for chocolate fountain. Just double the quantities, and use it to fill the bottom container of a chocolate fountain. Dip the marshmallows in the chocolate.

And this one here is one of my favourite chocolate cake recipes.

Ingredients for eight people:
285gr (10 oz) sugar
8 eggs, yolks and whites separated
85gr (3 oz) cocoa powder
100gr (3½ oz) almonds
200gr (7 oz) flour
3 tbsp water or milk
3 tbsp vanilla-flavored sugar

Preheat the oven at 170ºC (338ºF). In a bowl, pour the sugar and the egg yolks and mix them together until foamy. Add cocoa and almonds, one tablespoon at the time, and also some water or milk in case it is too dry. Whip the whites until firm and add them to the egg mix using a wooden spoon, stirring from the bottom up. Lastly add the flour and mix well until smooth.
Pour the mix in a cake tin and bake for about 40 minutes.

If you are tired of baking and want to leave the oven off for a while, here is a recipe you will love: italian dessert tiramisu.
