Rich chocolate dessert cake

Indulgence takes on a new meaning with this rich chocolate dessert cake. This cake is perfect for chocolate lovers craving an intense, decadent treat. Made with dark chocolate, butter, and a hint of sugar, this dessert promises to be a showstopper at any gathering or a luxurious ending to a meal. Let's dive into the process of creating this heavenly delight.

Ingredients:

1 cup butter
220g
2 cups dark chocolate
460g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
5 eggs
250g
3/4 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
90g
1 tsp baking powder
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare Pan:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter and dust with flour, or line it with parchment paper to ensure the cake doesn’t stick.
2. Melt Butter and Chocolate:
In a heatproof bowl, combine the butter and dark chocolate. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Stir occasionally until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt them together in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between.
3. Mix Sugar and Eggs:
In a large mixing bowl, add the sugar and eggs. Use an electric mixer on medium-high speed to beat the mixture until it becomes thick, pale, and well combined, about 3-5 minutes. This helps incorporate air for a lighter cake.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients:
Slowly add the melted chocolate-butter mixture to the egg-sugar mixture, beating on low speed until everything is well mixed.
5. Sift and Add Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
6. Pour Batter into Pan:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. The cake should have a slightly fudgy texture, so be cautious not to overbake.
8. Cool and Serve:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. For best flavor and texture, let the cake rest for a few hours or overnight before serving.
9. Enjoy:
Slice and serve the rich chocolate dessert cake as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or some fresh berries for added decadence. Enjoy!

Tips:

- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.

- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.

- When melting the chocolate and butter, use a double boiler or microwave in short bursts to prevent burning.

- Fold the flour into the batter gently to maintain a light and airy texture.

- Do not overmix the batter after adding the flour and baking powder.

- Bake until the center is just set to ensure the cake remains moist and rich.

This rich chocolate dessert cake is a testament to the beauty of simple ingredients coming together to create something extraordinary. By paying attention to quality and following these tips, you will produce a cake that is not only impressive in appearance but also sublime in taste. Share this indulgent treat with loved ones or treasure it as a personal indulgence. Bon appétit!
