Unique Dessert Recipe: Spicy Chili Chocolate Cake

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that will surely surprise and delight your taste buds. Inspired by the bold flavors of Mexican cuisine, I’ve created a Spicy Chili Chocolate Cake that combines the richness of cocoa with the kick of spicy chili peppers. It’s the perfect dessert for those who crave a little heat in their sweets. Let’s get baking!

Ingredients:

  • 200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
  • 150g unsalted butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 150g sugar
  • 50g all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Kitchen Tools:

  • mixing bowl
  • saucepan
  • whisk
  • round cake tin

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F) and greasing a round cake tin. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter until smooth. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually pour in the melted chocolate mixture, stirring constantly.

Next, sift in the all-purpose flour, cayenne pepper, chili powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake the Spicy Chili Chocolate Cake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should be moist with a slight jiggle in the center. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

This Spicy Chili Chocolate Cake weighs approximately 600g once cooked. It serves 8 people, with each serving weighing around 75g. One serving is estimated to have 250 calories.

Clever Tip:

For an extra indulgent twist, serve the Spicy Chili Chocolate Cake with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top. The creamy sweetness of the cream will balance out the heat from the chili, creating a perfect harmony of flavors.

I hope you give this unique dessert recipe a try and enjoy the deliciously unexpected combination of spicy chili and rich chocolate. Feel free to experiment with different types of chili peppers or adjust the spice level to suit your taste. Happy baking!
