Boca Negra

for the chocoholic, in the tradition of flourless cakes…. (this one is almost flourless), from the book Baking with Julia, recipe by Lora Brody. i’m glad i found a (properly credited) recipe online — scroll down — so i don’t have to type it up:)
the hardest thing about this cake is plating it, as it’s so fragile:(…. but ooh, yum. this was supposed to be for paco’s First Holy Eucharist celebration yesterday, but didn’t get done until today as we decided to eat out instead…. so now it’s also a special gift for my hubby, who has wheat sensitivities.
hiya! i am just cruising through all the entries for DMBLGiT, you know, to scope out the competition and all *wink*
what a gorgeous photo of a gorgeous cake
[…] This was supposed to be brownies! I meant to add 1 cup more flour, but forgot. I had tasted the batter and the thickness looked okay to me, so the cup of flour was left on the counter, and I saw it after the “brownies” had been baking in the oven for a while. The texture came out very similar to my Boca Negra instead, though not as smooth. My kids said it actually reminded them of sticky toffee pudding. I’ll try this again sometime with the additional flour and see if my 6-year-old likes that better. It wasn’t the roaring success I was anticipating, but it wasn’t bad at all. At least I’ve proven to myself that tofu can be used successfully in my family’s favorite desserts. […]
