Chocolate & Pecan Délice Ingredients
Method
Instructions for Chocolate & Pecan Délice
- 1
Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- 2
Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a heatproof bowl, combine dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.
- 3
Mix Sugar and Eggs
In a separate bowl, whisk together granulated sugar and large eggs until pale and frothy. Add in the vanilla extract and mix well.
- 4
Combine Mixtures
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture while whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Mix until fully combined.
- 5
Add Dry Ingredients
Sift in the all-purpose flour and a pinch of sea salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- 6
Incorporate Pecans
Fold in the toasted, chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- 7
Bake the Délice
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly soft (it will firm up as it cools).
