Meringue Chocolate Brownie Cake – VIDEO RECIPE

how to cook Meringue Chocolate Brownie Cake?

STEP 1

To start, preheat your oven to 175°C (350⁰F). Grab a coarse grater and grate the dark chocolate.

STEP 2

In a medium bowl, pour in the flour and sift the cocoa powder through a sieve. Add the baking powder and salt, and give it a good mix.

TIPS: Keep in mind that the color of your brownie crust will vary depending on the quality of the cocoa powder you use. If you want a lighter shade, go for more light cocoa powder, and if you prefer a darker hue, opt for the darker ones.

STEP 3

Next, take a large bowl and crack in the eggs. Add the sugar and beat it with a mixer until it becomes a fluffy pale mass.

STEP 4

Now, pour the flour mixture into the egg-sugar mixture. Don’t forget to add the melted butter and grated chocolate. Mix everything together until it’s thoroughly combined.

TIPS: Instead of using butter, you can opt for good quality margarine. It works just as well! But keep in mind that margarine contains salt. So, you might want to reduce the amount of salt in the recipe. Just a little heads up!

TIPS: Melt your butter either on the stove or in the microwave – whichever is more convenient for you.

STEP 5

Grease a 20cm x 20cm square baking tin and line it with parchment paper. Transfer the dough into the prepared tin and level the top with a spatula.

STEP 6

Pop the pan into the preheated to 175°C (350⁰F) oven and bake for 30 minutes.

STEP 7

Once the cake is done, leave it in the tin for 5 minutes. Then, remove it from the tin and let it cool completely.

STEP 8

While the cake is cooling, take a medium bowl and place room temperature egg whites in it. Add citric acid, vanilla sugar, and salt. Use a mixer to beat everything until soft peaks form.

TIPS: Remember to take the eggs out of the refrigerator in advance so that the egg whites can reach room temperature. Cold egg whites don’t whip well.

STEP 9

In a saucepan, pour in the sugar and add water. Place it on the fire and bring it to a boil. Remember not to stir it while it’s cooking.

TIPS: Be careful not to stir the mixture while cooking, as it can cause the sugar to crystallize. So, hands off that spoon!

STEP 10

Keep the saucepan over medium heat until the mixture reaches a temperature of 118-119°C (244-246°F).

TIPS: To measure the temperature of your syrup accurately, it’s handy to have an digital kitchen thermometer.

STEP 11

Now, pour the syrup into the whipped egg whites in a slow stream. Continue beating with the mixer at medium speed.

STEP 12

Then, switch to high speed and beat the egg whites and syrup for 5 minutes until the meringue is cool and shiny.

STEP 13

In a medium bowl, place the chopped chocolate and pour in the milk. Give it a good stir.

STEP 14

Create a water bath by placing the bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir the ingredients constantly until they cool slightly.

TIPS: To properly create a water bath (a pan of simmering water), place the bowl on a saucepan with gently simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water.

TIPS: Uh-oh, what if your chocolate curdles? Well, that means it’s of low quality. But don’t worry, you can fix it! Just place the curdled chocolate over a pan of simmering water and add 2 tablespoons of softened butter for every 1/2 bar of chocolate (45 grams). Keep stirring until everything combines smoothly.

STEP 15

Now, it’s time to assemble the cake. Spread the meringue evenly on top of the cooled brownie crust and smooth the top and the sides.

TIPS: When it comes to distributing the meringue over the crust, a pastry spatula is your secret weapon. It makes the task easier and more convenient. Say goodbye to uneven cakes!

STEP 16

Pour melted dark chocolate in a thin stream over the entire surface of the meringue. Then create a marble pattern.

TIPS: To create an appealing marble pattern on the meringue, gently glide a wooden skewer, toothpick, or the handle of a spoon over its surface.

STEP 17

Finally, cut Meringue Chocolate Brownie Cake into equal pieces and serve it with tea. Enjoy your delicious treat!
