Here's chocolate cake with a difference! This isn't a dare - jalapenos work absolutely beautifully with chocolate... And it's not as far fetched as you might think as Mayas used chili with cocoa thousands of years ago. (The amount of baking soda/powder has been changed to 2 based on the reviews.)

Categories     Cake     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake

Yield 8 ppl

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound bittersweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon jalapeno chile pepper*, seeded, deveined, and very finely chopped*
5 eggs separated and at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 cups whipping cream (optional: flavored with Kahlua)
optional garnish - fresh berries or mint leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a 8-inch springform pan and line bottom with parchment paper. Melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot water; remove from heat. --OR -- put chips in a pyrex bowl and melt in microwave for 1 minute. Stir and microwave for one more minute. To the melted chocolate, add butter and chopped jalapeno pepper. Stir occasionally until smooth. Whisk in egg yolks, vanilla extract, and flour. Remove from heat to cool. In a large bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peak form. Gradually add sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold 1/3 of egg white mixture into chocolate. Quickly fold chocolate mixture in with the rest of the egg whites; pour mixture into prepared springform pan. Bake for approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool in pan on a wire rack. To unmold, slide a small knife around edge of cake to loosen it and remove sides of the springform pan; transfer onto a cake plate. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 5 hours or overnight. Serve at room temperature with whipping cream.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your cake will taste. Use real butter, unsweetened chocolate, and fresh jalapeños.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Garnish the cake with fresh jalapeños or chocolate shavings: This will add a touch of extra flavor and visual appeal.
