Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large eggs, cold
- 1 pound dark or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, cut into 16 pieces
- Optional toppings: powdered sugar and berries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate together over medium heat, stirring until completely smooth. Remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs until frothy and doubled in volume, about 5 minutes. Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the eggs, being careful not to deflate the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cake is set but still slightly soft in the center. The cake will firm up as it cools.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing. Serve with powdered sugar and fresh berries if desired.
Notes
- Ensure the eggs are cold for the best results when whipping them.
- This cake has a dense, rich texture and should be served in small slices.
- You can store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
