Do you feel like having chocolate, but don't want to spend more than 15 minutes in the kitchen? You are in the right place! You will need a salad bowl, an immersion blender, and a ring (or if not available, a mold, in which case reduce the cooking time a bit) and that's it 😊
 
Equipment:
Perforated baking sheet
18cm Ring

Ingredients:
I used Bahibé and Komuntu chocolates from Valrhona: code ILETAITUNGATEAU for 20% discount on the entire site (affiliate).

Preparation time: 10 minutes + 23 minutes of cooking
For an 18cm diameter fondant:

 Ingredients:

 200g of dark chocolate at 80% cocoa
 50g of milk chocolate at 46%
 175g of butter
 4 eggs
 160 of granulated sugar
 75g of flour
 1 pinch of fleur de sel
 
 Recipe:

 To achieve the ultra-melting texture of this cake, you need to prepare it using an immersion blender to obtain a very homogeneous batter.

 Melt the chocolates with the butter and salt.

 Bake in the preheated oven at 160°C for about 20 minutes (I made two attempts, one at 19 minutes of cooking, one at 23 minutes, personally I prefer the one at 23 minutes of cooking, it's up to you!). These photos correspond to 23 minutes of cooking:
