The soft dark chocolate tart with a smart mold is the perfect base for creating delicious desserts with the filling of your choice.
It is made with dark chocolate and cocoa, resulting in a tasty and wonderfully fragrant treat. As it bakes and when you take it out of the oven, your home will be filled with an intense and irresistible aroma.
Using soft tarts as a base for cakes is an idea that allows us to create impressive desserts without all the labor involved in using a sponge cake.
This, in fact, needs careful cutting, soaking, and filling in the center, and finally, covering with cream or whipped cream.
In our case, instead, just moisten the surface, fill it as preferred, and you’re done.
A smart idea that saves effort while delivering sumptuous-looking and delicious-tasting desserts.

Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 4 oz dark chocolate (50%)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup sunflower oil
- 3 eggs (large)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 packet vanillin
- 1 pinch salt
Tools
- Smart tart mold with bottom diameter 10 inches and top diameter 12 inches, or 11 inches
- Electric whisks
- Pastry brush
- Silicone spatula
Preparation
To prepare the soft dark chocolate tart with a smart mold, start by melting the dark chocolate with milk in a double boiler.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with sugar and vanillin using electric whisks.
Once a well-whipped mixture is obtained, add the oil and sifted flour with unsweetened cocoa and baking powder, and mix.
Then add the melted chocolate and a pinch of salt, and incorporate using the electric whisks.
Pour into the smart mold evenly oiled with a brush and floured or treated with pan release, and bake at 340°F in a preheated static oven, in the lower middle part, for about 20 minutes.
Before removing from the oven, do the toothpick test.
The inside and the surface should be dry; if so, do not prolong the baking.
Let the tart cool in the mold, then flip directly onto the serving plate.
The soft dark chocolate tart is now ready.
Before filling it, it’s advisable to moisten the surface to make the final result more tender to the bite.
Storage
If not filled, it keeps well closed in a cake container or under a glass dome, at room temperature for 4-5 days.
