Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan.

  2. 2

    Melt Chocolate and Butter

    In a heatproof bowl, combine dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt together over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Combine Sugar and Eggs

    In a separate bowl, whisk together granulated sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Add in vanilla extract and mix well.

  4. 4

    Mix Together

    Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring continuously until well combined.

  5. 5

    Add Dry Ingredients

    Sift cocoa powder into the batter and fold in toasted hazelnuts. Mix until just combined.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cake has set and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with vanilla bean ice cream, raspberry coulis, and a sprinkle of Bulls Bay smoked sea salt.
