Chef's tip
It is possible to make a larger quantity of cakes and freeze them. In that case, the cooking time needs to be doubled.
Serve with a glass of Grand Marnier® Cordon Rouge liqueur.
To obtain a crunchy texture on top while remaining runny inside, the cake must be baked quickly and at a high temperature.
