The Secret Behind the Baulois Fondant Recipe

© Stéphanie Iguna

We often think that cooking will break the bank — but we found the perfect book to change that cliché: À table sans se ruiner by Stéphanie Iguna, published by Wedebook. This Instagram culinary star, also known as @stephatable, reveals 60 recipes from appetizers to desserts to prove that you can treat yourself without overspending. Our favorite? The iconic Fondant Baulois, a chocolate cake from the Atlantic Coast: a super-indulgent and easy-to-make dessert the whole Internet is obsessed with. Not the kind that melts everywhere, but the one that stays dense, rich, and tells you from the very first bite that you definitely should have baked two.

 

Ingredients

(4 to 6 servings)

200 g dark chocolate
200 g salted butter
4 eggs
150 g sugar
125 g salted butter caramel
50 g flour

 

Preparation

Make the Batter

Preheat the oven to 210°C.
Melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave.
Whisk the eggs with the sugar, then combine with the melted mixture.
Add the salted butter caramel and flour until smooth.

Baking

Pour into a buttered and floured metal pan.
Bake 5 minutes at 210°C, then lower to 130°C and bake for about 35 minutes.
The center must stay very soft — adjust baking time depending on your oven.

Cooling

Let it cool at room temperature before serving.
