1

Bake the sponge cake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). ​​Beat the eggs with sugar until it has tripled in volume, about 10 minutes. With a spatula, gently fold the flour in the egg-sugar mix. Add the batter to a buttered mould. Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until your pointed knife comes out clean.

Prepare the chocolate ganache: place the chopped dark chocolate in a bowl. In a saucepan on low heat, boil the crème fraîche with a tablespoon of sugar, then pour on top of the chocolate and wait a few minutes before stirring to obtain a smooth ganache.
