Equipment

  • 8-Inch Round Cake Pan
  • Wire Cooling Rack
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • cup unsalted butter
  • cup granulated sugar
  • tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs slightly beaten
  • cup Dutch process cocoa powder

For the chocolate ganache:

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375�F. Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the pan's bottom. Place the parchment in the pan and give it a spray. Set it aside.
  • In a big microwavePour your fantastic batter into the prepared pan.-safe bowl, put chocolate and butter. Heat for about a minute until the butter melts and the chocolate is soft.
  • Stir it until it's smooth. If needed, reheat in 10-second bursts, stirring each time. Add sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Give it a good stir.
  • Add the eggs and stir until smooth. Toss in the cocoa powder and stir until just combined. No over-mixing here!
  • Pour your fantastic batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until the top gets a thin crust and the center hits 200�F on an instant-read thermometer.
  • Let the cake cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Loosen the edges with a butter knife.
  • Carefully flip it upside down onto a cake plate. Now, the bottom becomes the top. Let the cake cool completely.
  • While the cake chills, make the chocolate ganache. Combine chocolate and cream in a medium microwave-safe bowl.
  • Heat until the cream is super hot (30 seconds to start, but check as needed).
  • Remove, stir until the chocolate melts, and it's silky smooth.
  • Spread the chocolate ganache evenly over the cooled cake. Let it set for a few hours. Speed things up by popping it in the fridge.
  • Cut the cake into slices. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and add raspberries if you fancy. Top it off with whipped cream or ice cream for an extra treat.
