Cake Ingredients

Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Melt Chocolate and Butter

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring until smooth and fully combined.

  2. 2

    Mix the Batter

    Remove the bowl from heat and let it cool slightly. Stir in the granulated sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the batter is smooth and glossy.

  3. 3

    Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch round cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out slightly moist.

  4. 4

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with fresh berries, raspberry sauce, a dusting of powdered sugar, whipped cream, and mint leaves as garnish.
