I prepared this chocolate cake that I bring you today for the Good Fridaymy mother and my own Saint's day and one of the most celebrated days in my family, where the day of the Saint, as in Andalusia, is always important. And although the cake is not chocolate, that is not really a chocolate cake, there is chocolate everywhere! The name seemed fun because it was what everyone thought when they saw the cake: chocolate cake, but this cake was a surprise.
I was going to do a fraisier (I promise to bring the recipe soon), but my son wanted to make cookies. I tried to explain to him that the cookies are not the most brilliant dessert for a celebration meal, but then I remembered a cake that I once tried in United States, a delicious cake covered with cookie dough, and chocolate.
The cake is not too sweet, that I already notice is not a chocolate cake as such, but with a rich amazing buttery toasted flavor. The first time I used this butter was my Professor Cristina Tosi, Milk Bar-Momufuku in New York, and although while preparing the recipe seemed an unappetizing thing, the truth is that after trying it I was hallucinating: scraping bottom burned butter and add all those burned black and Brown particles? Yes, and you will already see the taste so rich giving to your biscuits.
When the cake is finished, it seems a chocolate cake, however when you cut a portion... ta chan... surprise!, there is a delicious and tender buttery sponge cake with hints of walnut and hazelnut which is delicious but no chocolate inside. My family enjoyed a lot this chocolate cake that is not really a chocolate cake, so I hope you also like it!

Hello Lolea. I think it is a spectacular recipe, but doubt arises me. Cookies cream flour, remaining raw? I do not understand very well that step. A hug
Hello Piliuca, if you become raw. Is like a butter cream and is the dream of my child whenever I do because he eats the cookie to tablespoons dough before baking it :) Although it seems incredible, try it, you will already see the surprise :) Thank you for being here with me

Hello Kate, min i chips are chocolate chips, such as those who carry the chocolate cookies, but you can replace them with chopped chocolate if you can't find it. A kiss and thanks for writing
