Halloween or Samaín is approaching and I want to show you this recipe for death by chocolate that is delicious for the darkest party of the year. I saw the idea in Alegna, in the Mundorecetas forum.

It is a type cake chocolate browniee inside a paper coffin. I put the link from which you can download and print the templates to make them. It is very simple and as you will see, the result is terrifying. In the link you can print the base of the coffin, the lid and the template to cut out the cake.

It also has another template (blank) to cut out the vegetable paper that we will stick inside the base of the coffin so that the cake will not grease the coffin paper. It is so easy to do that you can ask the children to help you, especially if they like crafts.

To make the chocolate death cakes I use a rectangular mold measuring 34,5 x 23 centimeters and they come out 6 coffins. I think there could be one more, but the edges left by trimming I love for breakfast the next day.

To make the skeleton I have used a skull of White chocolate, bought in a candy store, and the skeleton is drawn with a vanilla-flavored pastry pencil from the Vahiné brand.

Ingredients

  • 250 g of chocolate fondant
  • 4 eggs
  • 250 g of sugar
  • 250 butter g
  • 250 g flour
  • 1 sachet of backing powder
  • white chocolate skulls
  • vanilla flavored pastry pencil

Preparation

  1. We preheat the oven to 180º.

  2. We grate the chocolate during 10 seconds, progressive speed 5-7-9 and we reserve.

  3. We put the butterfly on the blades and put the eggs and sugar in the glass and beat 5 minutes, temperature 37º and speed 5. Once finished we put other 3 more minutes, at speed 5 and without temperature.

  4. We add the butter at room temperature and beat for 20 seconds, at speed 4.

  5. We add the chocolate and mix 30 seconds, at speed 4.

  6. We add the flour and the yeast envelope and put 10 seconds, at speed 3. If it has not been incorporated well, we finish mixing it with the spatula.

  7. Grease the mold with a little butter and flour. Pour the mixture into the mold and spread throughout the base with the help of a spatula.

  8. We put in the oven at a temperature of 180º, for 35-40 minutes (the time depends on the type of oven) and before taking them out we puncture it to check that it is done. Let cool and unmold on a wire rack.

  9. Once it is very cold we cut into pieces with the shape of the coffin and place them inside the paper coffins. We decorate with the skulls and draw the body of the skeletons with the pastry pencil. We close the coffins and ready to terrorize at our party and die for chocolate.

    Hi, I recently discovered your blog and I love it. I already knew the one from the Casita Verde in Alegna but I did not know this recipe. She is an amazing artist and sadly she no longer updates her blog with new recipes. So now I have a new reference blog with you. I love the content, clean, neat and updated! Congratulations!. One question, according to the link the templates are made with cardstock, is it easy? Is it different from conventional cardboard? Thanks and congratulations again.

      Hello Eva, yes it is different, but I did it in normal folios, I mounted them and then I placed inside vegetable paper. They were perfect! Greetings and I'm glad you like our blog.

        Thanks Elena! by the way, the premiere last night of your recipes was with the fish nuggets. Wow! My 3 daughters devoured them, but I had to push my husband and a friend off the plate because they couldn't resist! And the best, easier IMPOSSIBLE. I love cooking and I get very little out of TMX, but I think that with you that will change… Salu2!

    Hello Elena, looking at this recipe I have realized that it is very similar to the delicious chocolate sponge cake, is it the same recipe? Thank you

    Hello Elena,

    I have it in the oven, but whenever I do something I have a doubt: heat up and down or just down?

      Hi Lolina, I put heat up and down. They look great if the first 10 minutes you put them with only heat down and the rest up and down. All the best.
