Shortbread cake in chocolate glaze topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 220g unsalted butter, room temperature, plus extra for greasing the pan
- 1.5 cups premium flour
- 0.5 cup whole grain wheat flour
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 80 g semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- Silver nonpareil, for decoration
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch fluted pie pan. Combine all the flour, powdered sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse until combined. Add the butter and vanilla extract and pulse until the flour is moistened and the dough begins to come together.
- Place the dough into the prepared pan and press evenly into the bottom and sides. Prick the dough with a fork about 30 times all over the surface.
- Bake the shortbread crust until golden brown and set in the center, 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then sprinkle with chopped chocolate. Let the chocolate soften, about 5 minutes, and then use an offset spatula to spread it in a thin layer over the crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle with nonpareils and let cool completely.
- Remove the cake from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Slice into thin wedges.
