Are you looking for a really chocolaty cake? What's better than a Three chocolates cake? Dark, milk and white chocolate to satisfy everybody and disappoint nobody!
Chocolate Cakes recipes are the ones people love the most. So, even if there's always someone who is complaining about diet, I'm happy to continue proposing you new ideas!
The first chocolate is used for the base of this cake, the other two ones create a delicious custard combining with butter and heavy cream which will cover the cake. As we usually say, once you make a gluttony sin you make it well!
This isn't a light cake at all, but it obviously is healthier than many other industrial cakes that you find around because you can select the base ingredients and choose high quality chocolates, butter, cream and eggs.
It's a perfect cake for children parties or for cheering somebody up after a bad period, such as love delusions or whatever. ;-)
This recipe has been sent by Maria Lucia Corniola from Irsina (Matera - Italy) who wrote: "The recipe is an idea of a friend of mine, but I used Thermomix to help myself as usual."
If you adore chocolate cakes, I suggest that you try the Chocolate Cake, the Chocolate and Whipping Cream Cake, the Egg-Free Chocolate Cake and the Soft Chocolate Cake.

Maria Lucia's Advice
Serve the cake with a small cup of dark chocolate ice cream.
My Advice
You may use Thermomix to melt chocolate at a temperature of 60°C. Time cooking depends on the quantity of chocolate. You will avoid using two different pans for the bain-marie.
