recipe

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a saucepan, melt the chocolate & butter over low heat until smooth.
  • Step 2
    Separate egg whites from yolks.
  • Step 3
    In a large mixing bowl, add the yolks & the sugar. Use an electric mixer to whisk until there is a wet crumbly texture. Add 1.5 tbsp of water (amount for 1 cake). Continue mixing until the texture is smooth.
  • Step 4
    Add the melted chocolate to the mixture. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to mix until combined. Add the flour & baking powder. Mix again until combined.
  • Step 5
    Use an electric mixer to beat the whites for about 2-4 min until firm. Working in batches, fold the whites into the batter. Mix until everything is combined.
  • Step 6
    Grease all sides of a cake pan with butter. Line the pan with parchment paper. Pour in the batter & bake for about 35 min at 350°F. Check for doneness by sticking a toothpick in the center, if it comes out clean, the cake is done!
  • Step 7
    Cool the cake completely. Invert the cake on a plate, then remove the parchment paper.
  • Step 8
    In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the marshmallows in the microwave for 30 sec. Stir well until the marshmallows get stringy.
  • Step 9
    Using two small spoons, stretch the marshmallow into threads & spread them all over the cake to form a spider web. Serve the spooky cake & enjoy!
