Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).

  3. Melt the butter and chocolate together in a plastic bowl in the microwave. Stir well.
  4. Whisk the oil and the oat crème fraîche into the melted chocolate mixture.
  5. Add the water and flax eggs and mix well.
  6. Add the sugar and whisk until thoroughly combined.
  7. Sift together both flours, the cocoa powder, the baking soda, and baking powder.
  8. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in two additions, whisking well after each addition.
  9. Transfer the batter to a piping bag and cut a large hole for the tip.
  10. Pipe a 1 cm (0.4”) layer into the molds, place the mold on a rack, and then bake at 160°C (320°F) for 20 minutes.
  11. You can tell if the sponge is cooked by gently pressing down on the surface; when it’s ready, the sponge should spring back.
  12. Remove the baked cakes from the oven, and allow them to cool.
  13. Transfer to the freezer and allow to freeze completely before unmolding.
  14. Reserve the unmolded cakes, covered in plastic wrap, in the freezer until ready for the final assembly.
