80 grams
flour
-
50 grams
sugar

4
eggs
- for the decorative eggs
-
10
empty and washed eggs
Directions
-
First, the decorative eggs :
-
With the point of a large needle or knitting needle, make a small hole on the head of the egg. Be careful to not press too hard (don't broke the egg).
-
Repeat with all the eggs. NOTICE : for the chocolate cake, set aside the content of 4 eggs in an other bowl.
With the rest of eggs : omelet party !!
-
Once empty, wash the eggs shell with hot water. Fill them, shake delicately and drain. Repeat it two more times. Set aside.
-
Let's make the chocolate cake :
-
Preheat your oven at 180°C/350°F.
-
Melt the butter and the chocolate in microwaves or in a double boiler. Mix together.
-
In a bowl, mix the 4 eggs wtih sugar.
-
Add the flour and mix well.
-
Pull a little bit of melted butter in each shell, shake well, pour out the excess and let drain on paper towel.
-
Fill each shell to 3/4 with a piping bag (only at 3/4 to not burst the shell during cooking time).
-
Put the eggs in the muffin tin.
-
Let cool down when the chocolate cakes is baked inside.
-
If you want, you can decorate the eggs shell when they are cooled. Painting, glitters... About me, I choosed some Kawaii spirit. With a thin pencil, draw delicately your picture (if it's not good, just erase it). Then with a thin black felt, brush on the pencil marks. That could be a great creative workshop with children ^^
