Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a cake tin with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent it from burning.
- Once the butter has melted completely, slowly add the espresso coffee to the saucepan.
- Add the sugar and dry cocoa powder to the butter and coffee mixture. Stir continuously until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth. Make sure there are no lumps. If necessary, you can use a whisk to achieve a lump-free mixture.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes. This step is crucial so that the eggs do not cook when added.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they are light and frothy.
- Gradually add the beaten eggs into the cooled chocolate mixture, stirring consistently to form a homogeneous batter.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Place the cake tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once done, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the cake tin for about 10-15 minutes.
- Afterward, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once fully cooled, slice the cake and serve. You can optionally garnish with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or fresh berries for an extra touch.
Tips:
- Use high-quality coffee and cocoa powder to maximize the flavor of the cake.
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature before starting the recipe; this will help it blend more smoothly with the other ingredients.
- When incorporating the eggs, do so one at a time and beat well after each addition to prevent the mixture from curdling.
- For a smoother texture, you can sift the cocoa powder before adding it to the mixture.
- Let the cake sit in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours, or overnight, for best results.
