Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 200 g dark chocolate (preferably 70% cocoa)
- 150 g unsalted butter
- 250 g sugar
- 4 pieces eggs
- 150 g flour
- 1 packet baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a round cake pan.
- In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together. Stir until smooth and let it cool slightly.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until the mixture is pale and fluffy. Slowly pour in the melted chocolate and butter, stirring to combine.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into the chocolaty mixture, folding gently until just combined.
- Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes. The cake should have a slightly moist center.
- Let the cake cool before carefully removing it from the pan. Enjoy it plain or with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
Notes
Don't overmix when combining your dry ingredients with the wet. For a deeper chocolate flavor, add a splash of espresso or some nuts for a delightful crunch. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or in the fridge for up to a week.
