My Chocolate Bible
Jun. 19th, 2005 07:53 pmTired of seeing me always order the chocolate thing on any dessert menu, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bateleur bought me a copy of Chocolate Bible on the grounds that some of them looked pretty easy to make. Today we tried our first recipe, Chocolate Orange Marquise.
Twelve ounces of chocolate, eight ounces of butter and five eggs later, neither of us believed it would actually turn into a solid cake. OK, there was a bit of plain flour (three tablespoons) and sugar (a cupful) as well, but it's the first cake mixture that I've seen poured into a cake tin rather than spooned in. However, the requisite hour in the oven worked some sort of magic and the end result not only tasted wonderful, it actually looked rather like the picture.
