Chocolate Pop Cakes

1 Preheat the oven to 180°C.

2 In a bowl, whisk the egg with the sugar, vanilla extract and salt.

3 Melt 50g of butter and add it to the egg mixture. To mix together.

4 Sift the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder into the mixture. Mix gently until the dry ingredients are well incorporated. Do not mix too vigorously, as the pop cakes may lose their volume.

5 Grease a pop cake pan and transfer the batter to a piping bag.

6 Fill the lower part of the mold with dough, then add the lid and plant the sticks in the dough. They will hold up better than if they are planted after cooking.

9 Off the heat, add the dark chocolate and melt it in the cream.

10 Add 20 g of butter and mix until the ganache is smooth and shiny.
