What makes a chocolat cake a brownie? I guess it is just a name given to the end result. for instance your fondant could be a "coulant au chocolat" if you bake it at higher temperature for shorter time. Yet it is the exact same batter with 2 different names. Same ingredients with bitten eggs it could be a "Moelleux Au Chocolat". Same ingredients yet an other name. In this 3 cases the end result is different, mostly the aspect and texture. Perhaps a brownie it is just the name given to that aimed texture/aspect?

This is my mother’s chocolate cake which we started having in our house in the early 80s.❣️I don’t know where she got the recipe from. Probably from one of her girlfriends that she studied French with - all excellent home “chefs” with a solid knowledge of French cooking. Anyway, her cake was a “kladdkaka” (Swedish term meaning sticky/messy cake). The idea is to bake a kladdkaka until the rim and part of the outer perimeter is baked, and the center still leaves residue on a fork or something. Max. 30 minutes in the oven is my guess, but you have to test it as you bake. DELICIOUS cake! Thank you for giving the French name of the cake. I will check it out further.

If you look La Baule on Google maps you will see that it's surrounded by salt marshes. Being a very important salt producing region I can't imagine how a traditional recipe would use unsalted butter. In historic France unsalted butter was only used in regions where the "gabelle" (the very expensive tax on salt) was present, but coastal regions where salt was cheap (and not taxed) obviously used it for butter conservation.

Many years ago Julia Child's published a French Chocolate Gateau. Almost identical to this except a tiny bit of cornstarch instead of flour, and the eggs were separated with whites whipped stiff. Julia said the leavening was achieved by "perfectly beaten egg whites perfectly folded in." In truth it was more brownie than cake, but it was so popular that my dinner guests were known to ask for a second serving.

Ok, I've just made this cake and ended up with quite a different result. Being French I don't measure solids in volume but in mass. I transposed as follows : 250 mL of butter = 239 g ; 250 mL of sugar = 211 g ; 60 mL of flour = 32 g. I used a hand mixer and a 20 cm springform pan. I end up with my pan three quarters full before cooking and almost full after some time cooking. After more than 45 minutes of cooking at 180°C (350°F) a nice crust has formed but the cake remains wiggly. I stopped the oven and I'm letting it cool before removing it from the pan to see what's what.

This reminds me of Stella Park's brownie recipe, which is divine. She has you do the same aggressive whipping with the eggs and sugar and recommends using instant espresso (or coffee?

Love your videos, Glen, and I can't wait to try this!

That said, my husband would love this. Maybe for his upcoming birthday ... . Thanks for sharing. If you think this is that good, I will try it.

Belgian Brownies which I have been making this for the last 20+ years. Found on blog of Smitten Kitchen. Recipe: 7 ounces (200 grams) bittersweet chocolate (70 or 72%), roughly chopped 7 ounces (200 grams or 14 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into chunks 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt 4 large eggs 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon (20 grams) all-purpose flour Place chocolate and butter in a large heatproof bowl. Either over a saucepan of simmering water or in the microwave in 15- to 30-second bursts, stirring frequently, melt the two together. Off the heat, whisk in sugar, which should cool the mixture down significantly. Whisk in salt, then eggs, one at a time. Stir in flour. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. The batter will thicken a bit as it stands. Heat oven to 325°F (165°C). Either coat a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray or line it with cupcake papers. Spoon batter halfway into each cup and bake for 25 to 30 minutes (20 minutes in the mini-tart pans I show), or until a toothpick inserted into the center of cakelets comes out batter-free. (Fudgy crumbs are to be expected.) Let cool on a rack for 5 to 10 minutes before unmolding. Puffed tops will fall a little as they cool. One change I make is to pour the chocolate mixture into cupcake pans ... either normal size or tea size...then let it rest before putting it in the oven. Best warm right out of the oven or frozen and eaten right away. Takes on a fudge texture which is how I like it.
