SERIOUSLY RICH CHOCOLATE CAKE



Seriously rich chocolate cake image

Dark, rich and delicious - the perfect dessert

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Buffet, Dessert, Treat

Time 1h5m

Yield Cuts into 8-10 slices

Number Of Ingredients 9

100g butter , diced, plus extra for greasing
flour , for dusting
140g best-quality dark chocolate , with 70% cocoa solids, broken into pieces
6large eggs , separated
140g ground almond
1 tbsp kirsch or Cointreau (optional)
pinch of salt
85g caster sugar
cocoa powder and crème fraîche, to serve

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 170C/Gas 3/fan oven 150C. Grease a 23cm/9in springform cake tin and line the base with greaseproof paper or baking parchment. Dust the sides with a little flour. Put the chocolate and butter into a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water. Heat until melted, then remove the bowl from the pan and stir until smooth. Leave for about 5 minutes to cool slightly.
  • Stir in the egg yolks, ground almonds, and the liqueur, if using. Put the egg whites into a large bowl, add a pinch of salt and whisk until soft peaks form. Continue whisking, sprinkling in the sugar a little at a time, until stiff peaks form. Stir 2 tablespoons of the whites into the chocolate mixture, then carefully fold in the remainder until no traces of white are left.
  • Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 30-35 minutes until well risen and just firm to the touch. Cool in the tin (don't worry if the cake sinks and cracks slightly - it will still be fine). You can make the cake up to this stage up to four days ahead and keep it in an airtight container in a cool place. It also freezes well for up to one month.
  • To serve, remove the cake from the tin and peel away the lining paper. Sift cocoa powder liberally over the top and cut into slices. Serve with crème fraîche.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
  • Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients mix together more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • If you don't have a chocolate frosting recipe, you can use a simple glaze made with melted chocolate and milk.

Conclusion:

This rich and chocolaty syrup cake is the perfect dessert for any chocolate lover. It's moist, decadent, and has a delicious chocolate flavor that will satisfy your sweet tooth. The cake is also easy to make, so it's a great option for busy bakers. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or just as a simple treat, this cake is sure to be a hit.
