5 eggs
4 tbsp. cocoa
100 g dark chocolate
1/2 cup sugar
100 g butter
1 tsp. baking powder
1,5 cups flour
Chocolate cream:
1 bag of heavy cream
2 tbsp. cocoa
3 tbsp. powdered sugar
Instructions:
Melt the dark chocolate and mix with the eggs and soft butter. Then add sugar and cocoa. Mix everything.
Mix flour with baking powder and add to chocolate mixture.
Grease the baking dish with butter and lay out the dough. Bake chocolate cake for 20-25 minutes at 180 degrees.
For the preparation of chocolate cream, you must mix the heavy cream with cocoa and powdered sugar until a thick consistency is formed. Chocolate cream put in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Chocolate cake cut into two equal parts and lubricate with chocolate cream.
Apple Pie From Scratch
Ingredients:
• 70 gr. melted unsalted butter
• 1 teacup melted coconut oil
• 2.5 teacups white flour
• 1 tbsp. salt
• 50-100 ml. ice-cold water
• 3 tbsp. brown sugar
Filling:
• 5 medium-size Granny Smith apples
• 3 tbsp. white sugar
• 1 tbsp. salt
• 1.5 tbsp. cinnamon
• 3 tbsp. lemon juice
• 2 tbsp. white flour
• 1.5 teacup brown sugar
Put the flour and the salt into a large bowl and mix them with a fork. After that start adding both the melted butter and the melted coconut oil and continue mixing with the fork. Then you would have to slowly add the ice-cold water and mix well until you have a soft crunchy dough. It should look like the one on the photo. Put it in the fridge to cool down - it should be ready in about 15-20 minutes.
While the dough is cooling down it is time to prepare the apple filling. First, you have to peel the apples and cut them into thin and small pieces. Yes, I know that this part might be a bit frustrating but when you will thank me later when you see how good they have soaked up the divine sauce.
Place them in a bowl big enough to mix them later.
After that, pour all of the ingredients in the bowl.
Then stir everything well until you see no clean apple slice. They should be evenly covered in the sticky liquid-ish mixture of brown and white sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, flour, and salt.
Leave that mixture in the fridge for 10 minutes to cool down as well.
It is time to take the dough out of the fridge and preheat the oven to 200℃.
Divide the dough into two parts - one should be a bit bigger than the other. Then, with the help of a rolling pin, roll out the dough - it should be big enough to cover your tray. Cut a circle shape and place it in the tray (if you are out of baking paper as me you can just pour some oil, spread it around the tray with your fingers and pour some flour on top of it to create a layer that will prevent sticking).
Then cut some strips from that same dough and place them on the sides of the tray.
You can now take the filling out of the fridge and spread it evenly on top of the lower layer.
Now take the second “smaller” half of the dough and roll it out. You have to again cut it into long strips - long enough to cover the surface of the tray and create the iconic pie pattern.
Put it in the preheated oven and baked for 40 minutes. If the filling still has some liquid, you can use the fan option on your oven and leave it like this for 10 additional minutes. If you don’t have that option, you can just lower the temperature to 100℃ and ready.
