Preparation
Not specified
Cooking
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 10x15-inch (25x38cm) high sided baking dish.
- I used a 10x15-inch (25x38cm) pyrex pan, but a lasagna baker would work too.
- To make the cake, place the butter, cocoa powder and coffee in a medium size sauce pot.
- Melt the butter over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and combined.
- Remove from the heat and add the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.
- Whisk until just combined, it is ok if some flour chunks remain.
- Whisk in the eggs, vanilla and greek yogurt until just combined and smooth.
- Again, it is ok if the batter is a little lumpy.
- Pour the batter into the greased baking dish.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until just set on top.
- Remove from the oven.
- While the cake is baking, make the gooey chocolate.
- Combine the sweetened condensed milk and chopped dark chocolate in a small sauce pan and slowly melt the chocolate into the sweetened condensed milk over low heat until melted and smooth.
- Keep warm.
- Once the cake is out of the oven pour the gooey chocolate over the cake, spreading it out in an even layer.
- To make the meringue.
- Add the egg whites to a clean mixer bowl.
- Using a clean whisk attachment, beat on high speed until you have soft peaks.
- With mixer running, slowly add sugar.
- Once all the sugar has been added, add the vinegar.
- Continue beating until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes.
- Gently fold in the corn starch and cocoa powder being careful not to deflate the whites.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the meringue.
- Do not stir the melted chocolate completely into the meringue as you want streaks of chocolate.
- Carefully spread the meringue over the cake.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the meringue is just set on top.
- Remove the cake and allow to cool 1 hour.
- Cut and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
- This can be served slightly warm, at room temp or straight from the fridge.
- We loved it slightly warm!.
