Baking
- For this recipe I used the Silikomart – BUCHE COEUR silicone mould. The mould has the following dimensions: 248 x 88 h80 mm and a volume of 1290 ml.
- Alternating the light batter with the chocolate one, pour them into the mould. Using a knife, swirl the batter randomly to create marble effect. Bake in a preheated static oven at 180°C for 40 – 50 minutes. Check the baking using the toothpick inserted in the center of the cake. Remove from the oven and let cool down completely.
- Once the cake is completely cold, remove it from the mould and decorate with the chocolate that you have melted over water bath or in the microwave. Once the chocolate is almost firm, serve.
