Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 ° C.
- Strain the flour and cocoa powder into a bowl and set aside.
- Beat the sugar and the aquafaba together with a mixer until a soft and stable foam is obtained. About 7 minutes. You do not need to get to the meringue with stiff peaks but only to soft foam that shows stripes while whipping.
- Melt the dark chocolate and vegan butter either in a Bain Marie or in the microwave.In Bain Marie: Boil water in a pot and place a stainless steel bowl on top. Melt the chocolate and butter in the bowl gently. Set aside as soon as a smooth and glossy chocolate sauce is obtained.In the microwave: Heat for 30 seconds, take out to mix, then put in for another 15 seconds, take out again and mix until a smooth and glossy chocolate sauce is obtained.
- Add the sea salt and vanilla paste to the chocolate sauce and mix well.
- Fold the aquafaba into the chocolate sauce gradually and gently.
- Add the flour and cocoa mixture to the chocolate and aquafaba mixture and mix until all the flour is absorbed into the batter.
- Add the chocolate chips and mix.
- Bake for 35 minutes and check with a toothpick in the center of the cake if the cake is ready. If the toothpick comes out dry and not wet then the cake is ready. Wait until completely cools.
- Take a handful or two of vegan marshmallows and place over the cake. Burn the marshmallow with a food burner, or alternatively put in an oven preheated to maximum heat until the marshmallow is golden. About 5 minutes in a preheated oven.
- Sprinkle some cookie crumbs over.
