- Double Boiler or Microwave-Safe Bowl (for melting chocolate)
- Spatula
- Parchment Paper (for lining the pan)
- Cooling rack
Ingredients :
- 1/2 cup 115g unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 8 ounces 225g dark chocolate (preferably 60-70% cocoa)
- 1 cup 200g granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs at room temperature
- 1/2 cup 60g unsweetened cocoa powder (gluten-free)
- Optional: Powdered sugar for dusting or fresh berries (for garnish)
Instructions :
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a double boiler or microwave, melt the butter and dark chocolate together. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Add in the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
- Combine with Chocolate: Add the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and stir until well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift the cocoa powder into the bowl and fold gently into the wet ingredients until fully incorporated.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cake’s edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a cooling rack before removing the sides of the springform pan. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with berries, if desired.
