Yield Makes one 9-inch round layer cake

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons chocolate graham-cracker crumbs (from about 7 cookies)
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
1 large egg white

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, turbinado sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor; pulse to combine. Add melted butter and continue pulsing until well combined. Add egg whites and continue pulsing until crumbs begin to stick together.
  • Trace an 8-inch circle on a piece of parchment paper. Place paper pencil-side down on a baking sheet. Turn crumb mixture out onto parchment and form into a flat, even 8-inch disc, using the tracing as a guide.
  • Transfer to oven and bake until firm and middle appears dry, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely before using.

This chocolate crumb base was a disaster! It was too dry and crumbly, and it didn't hold together at all. I ended up throwing it away and starting over with a different recipe.

This chocolate crumb base was a bit too crumbly for my taste, but the flavor was great. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.
