Salted Caramel Chocolate Cake

Here is the best chocolate cake that I’ve ever made! .

This Salted Caramel Chocolate Cake is scrumptious,  caramel + chocolate oh my yumminess!

This French recipe is the best for the greatest occasion with a glass of champagne.

For breakfast, it’s also perfect. Make sure to enjoy it with a glass of cold milk 🙂

This cake is so easy to make. Follow the directions and that’s it!. Five minutes whisking eggs and flour, about five minutes preparing the caramel and five minutes to melt the chocolate. Fifteen minutes for the preparation, wow!!!

The hardest part is waiting until you can eat the cake.

 Wishing you a Happy New Year 2016 with Fantastic, Healthy and Delicious recipes 🙂

• powdered sugar (optional)

Directions :

1. Heat oven to 295 degree F.

8. Pour the chocolate in the egg/caramel mixture.
9. Butter a nonstick 9-Inch round cake pan. You can also line the bottom and the side with parchment paper, then butter the paper.
10. Pour the batter in the pan. Bake 55 minutes.
11. Let the cake cool at room temperature, then pop it in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
