you don't actually say that your cake pan is two pieces, but it must be if you're wrapping it in foil before putting it in a water bath. Is there some reason why we can't use a one piece pan and then not have to worry about wrapping it? Thank you
Hello! Such a good point. I did use a two piece pan, hence the double wrapping. If you have the right size pan that isn’t in two pieces, definitely use that! you’ll have to entirely chill before removing but the cake is quite solid at fridge temp. You can easily move it without damaging it!
I made this to serve as a birthday cake at a Lenten dinner party where I wanted the food to be delicious but restrained. I decorated the plate with strawberries around the base of the cake, so there was a strawberry served with each slice. People marveled at how light and surprising it was, and I was amazed at the way it delivered the deliciousness of chocolate without leaving you feeling overfull. It was somehow both decadent and austere. It's going in my file now for dinner party desserts because it's special but light enough to serve after a big meal. Thank you!
I made this and the flavor is amazing. I used a one piece pan, but I did not have good results getting it out and then when I cut it, even after I put it in the fridge, it fell apart into a million pieces. Did I not cook it long enough??
Hello! I baked and gave this cake to celebrate a mom who just had her third baby. I added a blood orange compote and Greek yoghurt whip.
The crumbs left on the parchment was so delicious and a melting texture— very excited to bake it again!!
You’re a wonderful friend!

Thanks for all the work! Especially interesting Bain Marie results.
I set my alarm for this every Sunday
speaking of brownies, what temperature in the middle do you take your brownies out?
thank you
I asked Nicola the same question on instagram and she said she just goes by time.
Hi! Would I still have good results if I bake it at 140°C? My oven doesn't have fan
