After the huge success of the mother-in-law’s cake both with family and on all my social channels, I decided to try my personal chocolate version. The result is an equally amazing dessert, super soft, perfectly moist, and very delicious. In short, the mother-in-law’s chocolate cake has also passed with flying colors. I suggest you try both so you can tell me which one is your favorite.

- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pack vanillin
- 1 pack baking powder

Preparation of the mother-in-law’s chocolate cake
Chop the dark chocolate into small flakes with a knife and set aside.
Pour the sugar into a large bowl, add the eggs, and whisk for a long time with the electric whisk until the mixture is light and frothy.
Then add the cream and whisk again.
In a small bowl, mix the flour, potato starch, cocoa powder, baking powder, vanillin, and a pinch of salt.
Gradually add this mixture to the egg and cream mixture by sifting it through a fine mesh colander and incorporating it with a spatula.
Finally, mix in the chocolate flakes as well.
At this point, pour the batter into an 8-inch springform pan previously lined with parchment paper and level it with a spatula.
Bake the mother-in-law’s chocolate cake in a preheated static oven at 340°F for 40 minutes. Do the toothpick test to check its actual cooking: when inserted into the center of the cake, it should come out dry. If not, extend the cooking for a few more minutes.
Remove the mother-in-law’s chocolate cake from the oven and let it cool completely before removing it from the mold and transferring it to a serving plate.
Once cold, sprinkle it with a mixture of unsweetened cocoa powder and powdered sugar. Alternatively, you can also use just cocoa powder or just powdered sugar. Enjoy! Paola
