Ingredients
- ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup unsweetened dutch processed cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Instant coffee powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 whole eggs
- Confectioners sugar to garnish
- Whipped cream to garnish
- Raspberries to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 7 or 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray, line a parchment paper over it, and set it aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and butter. Melt the chocolate chips for a minute stirring in between, until everything is melted to smooth.
- To the melted chocolate, add cocoa powder, coffee powder, and salt. Mix it and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, combine sugar and eggs. Beat them with a hand mixer for 3-5 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add vanilla extract and mix.
- Pour the chocolate mixture and fold them with the egg mixture until thoroughly mixed. Do not overmix the batter.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan and bake them for 25-30 minutes.
- Once done, allow the cake pan to cool down for 10 minutes. Run a butter knife around the edges to loosen the cake and flip.
- Dust some confectioners sugar on top. Decorate the cake with whipped cream and raspberries.
- Slice the chocolate cake and serve.
Notes
- Use good quality chocolate and cocoa powder.
- Don’t overmix the batter or the cake may fall.
- The center of the cake should reach 200 degrees F to be done. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Don’t overbake.
- Allow plenty of time for the cake to cool and set.
- Chill the cake and use a sharp knife for nice clean slices.
- Wipe the knife after cutting each slice.
- A dusting of cocoa powder or powdered sugar and some fresh fruit is all you need to decorate this cake.
