Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter cut into pieces, unsalted
- 6 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate finely chopped
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons espresso powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 egg at room temperature, large
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- powdered sugar for dusting
- raspberries for topping, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Place a rack in the center of the oven and another on the bottom. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan, line it with parchment paper, grease the parchment paper as well.
- Place the butter and chopped chocolate into a large heat-proof bowl. Melt them together by microwaving in 20-second increments, stirring after each until smooth. Alternatively, you can use a double boiler. Once melted, set aside to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the sugar, espresso powder, and vanilla extract to the melted chocolate mixture, whisking until smooth. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, until the mixture is smooth throughout.
- Sift in the cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles.
- Set a large metal roasting pan or baking dish (not glass) on the bottom oven rack. Carefully pour in boiling water so it reaches about 2 inches up the side of the pan. Quickly place the cake pan on the center rack and shut the oven door.
- Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs or clean. Check at the 25-minute mark to avoid overbaking. A slight rise and cracking around the edges are normal and will flatten as it cools.
- Remove the cake from the oven and cool in the pan on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Gently run a thin knife around the edges to help loosen the cake. Carefully invert it onto a serving plate. If it cools completely in the pan, it may be difficult to remove. Allow the cake to cool completely.
- Before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar and fresh raspberries. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
