Method
Cake Preparation
Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt over a simmering pot of water (double boiler method) or microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.
Mix Ingredients
Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until well combined. Allow to cool slightly, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and cocoa powder until fully incorporated.
Bake the Cake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool and Prepare Ganache
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. For the ganache, heat 100g of dark chocolate with 100ml of heavy cream until melted and smooth. Pour over the cooled cake.
Serve with Toppings
Top the cake with sliced strawberries and drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving.
