Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or more)
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 3 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 60 ml Bordeaux wine
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- cocoa powder (for dusting)
- whipped cream (optional, for serving)
- fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 20cm (8-inch) round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until light and frothy, about 3-4 minutes.
Gradually pour in the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine.
Stir in the Bordeaux wine until fully incorporated.
Sift the flour over the mixture and gently fold it in until no streaks remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the center is just set. The cake should have a slightly soft and fudgy texture in the center.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust the top with cocoa powder before serving. Serve with whipped cream and fresh berries, if desired.
