Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup cake flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon espresso powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 ounce bittersweet chocolate, finely grated, plus more for sprinkling
12 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter, melted, for grilling
2 cups mixed fresh berries, for serving
1 cup whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, espresso powder, salt and 3/4 cup sugar into a large bowl. Whisk in the chocolate and set aside.
  • Add the egg whites and cream of tartar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip the whites on medium-high speed until foamy, about 30 seconds. Slowly pour in the remaining 3/4 cup sugar and whip on high speed until the whites are glossy and can hold a stiff peak. Add the vanilla and beat to combine. Remove the bowl from the mixer.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture, gently folding it into the egg white mixture, until fully combined. Spoon the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan and bake until the cake springs back when pressed with a finger, 30 to 35 minutes. Do not open the oven during this time. Let cool, inverted, for 1 hour before removing the cake from the pan.
  • To grill the cake: Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Slice the cake and brush both sides of each slice lightly with the butter. Grill the cake slices until the surface becomes lightly caramelized and grill marked, about 1 minute per side. Serve with the berries, a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkling of grated chocolate.

  • Use a grill basket: This will help to keep the cake from falling apart on the grill.
  • Baste the cake with butter: This will help to keep it moist and prevent it from burning.
  • Cook the cake over medium heat: This will help to prevent it from burning.
  • Flip the cake halfway through cooking: This will ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Serve the cake warm or at room temperature: This is when it will be most flavorful.
