To get started with this recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook Richard Sax's Chocolate Cloud Cake using 13 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
This has been my go-to cake recipe for many years since the day I bought Richard Sax's cookbook, Classic Home Desserts. I made this cake for my daughter's birthdays and on serval occasions. I had tried changing the recipe a bit with a chocolate whipped cream, with added liqueur or some lemon zest. In the end, I still settle with this version.
I also used Magnum dark chocolate. It contains raw cacao nibs which adds a nice subtle crunch. If you can't find any Magnum dark chocolate, you can use any good quality dark chocolate with 1 TBSP of finely chopped raw cacao nibs.
The magic of this cake is that no matter how, the cake will still look rustically beautiful. Be sure to bake the cake within 40 mins to retain that moisture. The cake will rise and crack during baking process, then collapsed after cooling down. It is great and you want that collapsed effect. When you smear the whipped cream over the top, you know this is gonna be awesome. I usually finish the cake off with some grated dark chocolate. You can try dusting with cocoa powder too. In the end, this cake will catch the attention of a dining table. In closing, I thank you, Richard Sax, who had passed in 1995, for this amazing recipe.
