Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams Dark chocolate
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 200 grams Marzipan
- 125 grams Fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line the bottom of a 20cm (8-inch) springform pan with parchment paper. Grease the sides lightly with butter.
In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and butter together until smooth. Stir occasionally to combine. Remove the bowl from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Whisk the granulated sugar into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to create a smooth, glossy batter.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until evenly mixed.
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until the cake is set but still slightly soft in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs. Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once the cake is cool, roll out the marzipan into a circle about the size of the cake. Gently place the marzipan over the top of the cake, smoothing it over with your hands.
Arrange the fresh raspberries on top of the marzipan in an even layer.
Dust the cake lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
Slice and enjoy this rich, indulgent treat!
