Ingredients
- 7 ounces dark chocolate (good quality)
- ½ cup butter softened
- 3 large eggs (separated)
- ½ cup sugar (granulated)
- ⅓ cup all purpose flour
- 1 pinch salt (if you use unsalted butter then add ¼ teaspoon of salt)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
EXTRAS
- 2-3 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Grease and flour an 8 inch (20cm) springform pan or pie plate.
- Melt the chocolate and the butter either in the microwave or bain-marie, place some water in a small pot over medium low heat, place a heatproof bowl on top and add the butter and chocolate heat (stirring occasionally until melted. Let cool.
- In a medium bowl beat the egg whites until stiff peaks appear. Set aside.
- In a large bowl beat sugar and egg yolks until light and fluffy, approximately 5 minutes. Add the cooled chocolate mixture and combine on low speed. Add the flour, salt and vanilla, beat to combine. Gently fold in the egg whites and combine well.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes. The cake is done when a crust is formed on top and it starts to crack ( you an also insert a toothpick into the centre and when it comes out clean it is done - do not over bake).
- Let the cake cool completely, then dust with some powdered / icing sugar before serving.
Notes
- Any leftover cake should be placed in an airtight container, with parchment paper between the layers if necessary, it will keep for up to 2-3 days at room temperature. It can also be frozen in a freezer safe container (parchment paper between the layers) and will keep for up to 3 months in the freezer. Thaw it in the fridge, then bring to room temperature before serving.
