Of course, the body is also one body with the sofa, but at times like this, the more you move, the less depressed you become. I want to move quickly. "Gâteau au chocolat" means chocolate cake.

[how to make]

1. Put 4 eggs at room temperature in a bowl, beat lightly, add sugar, and mix so that the sugar does not clump. 

2. Place the egg bowl over a 1 inch high pot of boiling water.

3. Heat the eggs to about 120°F (50°C) while continuously stirring with a whisk.

4. When the eggs are hot, move the pot to the table and start beating.

5. Beat until the consistency thickens and the eggs no longer increase in volume.

6. Draw a ribbon over the dough and see if the marks disappear after 5 seconds.

7. Once you have the consistency you want, whip it on low speed for about 1 minute to create a fine foam.

8. Sift in the flour and baking powder and add. Fold with a rubber spatula until no flour is visible.

9. Put the butter and milk in a bowl and melt them in the microwave. The temperature of the butter mixture should be fairly warm, around 120°F (50°C).

Bake at 340°F (170°C) for about 30 minutes.

13. Shock it by dropping it on the table 2-3 times each time you take it out of the oven.

This will allow the hot heat inside the cake to escape quickly and prevent the top of the cake from sinking.
