Ingredients
- 250 g of high-quality dark chocolate
- 200 g of unsalted butter
- 150 g of caster sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 100 g of 00 flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- 250 ml of fresh whipping cream
Instructions
- Preparation: Step by Step
- Pre-heating the oven: Start by pre-heating the oven to 180°C. This ensures that the cake bakes evenly.
- Melt the Chocolate and Butter: In a pan with a bain-marie, gently melt the chopped chocolate together with the butter, stirring until smooth and homogeneous.
- Whipping Eggs with Sugar: In a large bowl, whip the eggs with sugar until light and fluffy. This process incorporates air into the mixture, making the cake fluffy.
- Incorporate the Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into another bowl. Gently incorporate them into the egg and sugar mixture, alternating with the melted chocolate.
- Pour in the dough and bake: Pour the dough into a previously buttered and floured cake tin. Bake for about 25-30 minutes. A trick to check the baking is to insert a toothpick in the centre: if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
- Preparation of the cream: While the cake is cooling, whip the fresh cream with a pinch of icing sugar until it is firm but soft.
- Decoration: Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the whipped cream over the surface with a spatula, creating a wavy effect. For a finishing touch, you can grate dark chocolate over the cream.

Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
