Moist chocolate cake bites with Capriccio quenelle and raspberry jam

Method:

Melt the chocolate with the butter in a bain-marie. Whip the egg yolks with 90 g sugar until you get a fluffy and clear mixture.
Whip the egg whites together with 10 g sugar until you get stiff peaks.
Mix the melted chocolate with the egg yolks and then add the egg whites. When everything is well mixed, add the sifted flour.
Pour the mixture into a 20 cm cake tin and bake in a pre-heated oven at 170°C for around 25 minutes. Mix the Capriccio cheese with the cream, icing sugar and vanilla extract. Make small quenelle using two teaspoons.
Serve the cake bites with a quenelle and a teaspoon of raspberry jam.
