Goat Cheese Chocolate Cake

Even just a few dairy goats will generate a ridiculous amount of chèvre. These days I am making anywhere from 10 - 15 oz of cheese per day with just two milkers. As such, I have been coming up with some creative uses for goat cheese. For example, I now make the best and, at current chèvre prices of $1.00/oz, incredibly expensive mac and cheese.

However, this new recipe "takes the cake". After a cursory internet search revealed no such other recipes on the entire Internet (of the first six google hits) I thought I would put it down here for posterity.

So, if you want to make a great tasting chocolate cake and have some goat cheese sitting around (or are willing to spend $10+ for a cake) read on...

Goat Cheese Chocolate Cake:

Ingredients

  • 10 - 12 oz of fresh creamy chèvre 
  • 1/2 cup goats milk, divided
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 6 oz of chocolate chips (more if you like more chocolatey goodness)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups flour
  1. Heat 1/4 cup of milk and chocolate chips in a double boiler until melted and smooth.
  2. In the mean time, whisk egg yolks, salt, and sugar in a bowl until the eggs are a light yellow and fluffy (about 2 - 3 minutes)
  3. Pour a little of the hot cream mixture into the eggs to temper, then return the whole thing to the double boiler. Whisk until thick, roughly 15 minutes. Do not allow to boil. Cool the chocolate-egg mixture in the fridge until firm (about an hour or so).
  4. When it is cool, whip the eggs and chocolate mixture with the goat cheese until smooth. Add the vanilla and stir to combine.
  5. Combine the flour and baking soda and add it to the cheese mixture a little at a time. If it gets too thick, alternate with some additional milk until all the flour is combined. You should get a cake batter consistency that is a little on the stiff side.
  6. Pour into a buttered pan and bake at 350 until an inserted toothpick comes out smooth (depends on the pan, but my bread pan took about 30 minutes).
All that's left of this tasty goodness!

You can make up a frosting (with goat cheese, of course) but I just eat it plain.
