Chocolate Spider Web Cake

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!
