ENGLISH
I’m not always up for exquisite, complex, layered entremets, although I do love a challenge. But my sweet tooth is restless and I’m always looking for recipes that are interesting and defy the techniques I already know. And this is exactly what happened with this cake. I knew from the very first glance on the recipe that I was going to make it. Just the fact that it used mascarpone cheese as a base instead of butter was reason enough to bake it – I love the Italian cheese and I really pictured this cake delicate and delicious due to the addition of mascarpone. And to be fair, it didn’t disappoint me!
This gateau au chocolat is made after a recipe of Cyril Lignac, who is, for those of you who may not know him, the owner and chef of the gourmet restaurant Le Quinzieme (1 Michelin star) and the pastry shop La Patisserie Cyril Lignac, amongst other locations in Paris, together with Cuisine Attitude, his own cooking and pastry school. He is also a TV presenter for culinary programs and writer for over 40 cook books. He is quite a name in the industry, isn’t he?! His desserts always look stunning and his recipes are impressive.
