This is an improved version of a regular chocolate cake created by a British chef. Originally, he wanted to make a chocolate cake to fill his stomach, but found that the kitchen did not have low gluten flour for making cakes. In order to fill his stomach, he reluctantly made a flour free chocolate cake and found that the taste was great. Compared to chocolate cakes with flour, this type of cake has a richer and more delicious chocolate flavor< br>

Steps to make English style chocolate sponge cake (flour free version)

1. Prepare the ingredients first, preheat the oven to 180 ° C, brush butter on the baking tray, and place greaseproof paper on top.
2. Pour the egg whites into a clean, oil-free bowl, add 20g sugar and beat until stiff, set aside.
3. Add two egg yolks and 20g of white sugar to the mixing bowl. Place the mixing bowl in a hot flat bottomed pan (make sure the mixing bowl is far away from the pan to prevent water from entering during the mixing process). Whip it into sabayonne (a silk like egg yolk syrup).
4. Put the chocolate in a cup with hot water in the middle to melt, and cut out 30g of butter.
5. Add 125g of melted chocolate and 30g of melted butter to the sabayonne from step 3 and stir quickly. Finally, quickly pour them into the beaten egg whites from step 2 and mix well up and down. The action should be gentle, but the speed should be fast to prevent the bubbles in the egg whites from bursting.
6. Pour the preheated greaseproof paper into a baking tray and bake at 180 ° C for 12 minutes, then wait for 10 minutes before turning on the oven.
7. Take out the cake and let it cool slightly.
8. Trim the edges and sieve the sugar free chocolate powder.
9. Cut into small pieces and place them on a plate until the heat dissipates.
10. While waiting for it to cool down, quickly add powdered sugar and beat the double cream until soft. Pour in concentrated coffee powder and stir well. Add it to the baked chocolate cake according to personal preference. Done!
