Oreo Chocolate Cake Recipe                                                                                 Recipe by iSaamuel


INGREDIENTS;
15 Oreo cookies, crushed,
2 Tablespoons of Melted Butter,

45g of Bread flour,
2 Egg Yolks,
3 Tablespoons of Melted Chocolate Chips,
3 Tablespoons of Cocoa Powder,
2 Tablespoons of Oil,
3 Tablespoons of Milk,

2 Egg Whites,
50g of Sugar,

Whipped Cream, Fruits, Oreo cookies, and Powdered Sugar to garnish.

Oreo Cookie base
1. Crush 15 Oreo cookies in a plastic food bag with a rolling pin. Get rid of your stress and whack the cookies hard into fine crumbs. You could also use a food processor, but that's not fun!
2. Mix the crushed Oreo cookie crumbs with the melted butter until they are moistened like wet sand.
3. Pour the cookie mixture into a lined cake pan and press evenly across the base. Set aside in the fridge.

Making the Chocolate Cake

1. In a large mixing bowl, place the bread flour, egg yolks, melted chocolate chips, cocoa powder, oil, and milk. Whisk everything for about 3-5 minutes until the mixture is thick, and gluten strands should appear.
2. In another bowl, whisk egg whites and sugar until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy. Use your elbow grease or electric beaters if you'd like!
3. Gradually fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture gently, until everything is well combined. Do not over mix as this would deflate the air from the egg whites resulting in a hard, dense cake.
4. Pour the complete Chocolate Cake batter on top of the Oreo cookie base. Bake at 180C for 15-20 minutes.Let the cake cool before decorating.
5. To decorate, whip 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream with 1 tbsp of sugar until stiff peaks form. Transfer this mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe and decorate!

Garnish the cake with fresh fruits such as raspberries and blueberries or chocolate shavings and enjoy!

Molten Chocolate Cake Recipe                                                                         Recipe by iSaamuel

INGREDIENTS;
50g of 65% Dark Chocolate,
50g of 55% Milk Chocolate,
50g of Butter,
50g of Sugar,
2 Eggs,
1 Tsp of Pure Vanilla Extract,
1/4 Cup of All Purpose Flour,
Butter and Cocoa Powder to grease and coat ramekins,

Powdered Sugar and fruits to garnish.

1. Over a pan of simmering water, place a large heatproof bowl on top with you Dark and Milk Chocolate placed inside along with the butter. Make sure the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl, and that the bowl should be completely dry, as well as the utensils you are using to melt the chocolate, as it could seize up the chocolate, turning it clumpy meaning you would have to start again.
2. Set the melted chocolate aside once it has completely melted thoroughly with the butter. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and the sugar together.
3. With your pan of water simmering still on the stove, place the bowl of whisked eggs on top. Whisk constantly until the sugar dissolves and the eggs are warm to the touch, light and thick. Set aside.
4. Pour the melted chocolate into the whisked eggs and whisk constantly. Add the vanilla extract. Mix well.
5. Whisk in the flour until the batter is lump free. Grease 3 ramekins with butter and cocoa powder. Fill each one evenly with equal amounts of cake batter 3/4 way full.
6. Bake at 180C for 5-10 minutes.
How will you know they're ready? Check at 5 minutes to see if the cake is baked on top. Shake the cake little and it should be still a little 'jiggly'.
7. Make sure the cakes do not overbake. Serve immediately once taken out from the oven to quickly enjoy the molten center.
Dust with powdered sugar, garnish with fruits, and get ready for endless praise from family and friends. Enjoy!
