Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or more)
- 125 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 4 Large eggs, separated
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20 cm (8-inch) round cake pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the sides with butter or non-stick spray.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together over a double boiler (or in short bursts in the microwave), stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar together until the mixture lightens in color and becomes smooth. Stir in the melted chocolate-butter mixture until fully combined.
Add the cocoa powder, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt to the chocolate batter, mixing until smooth and lump-free.
In a separate mixing bowl, use a clean whisk or electric mixer to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate batter in 2-3 additions, being careful not to overmix. Stop folding once no white streaks remain.
Divide the batter into two bowls. To one bowl, add the vanilla extract and mix gently until combined.
Using a spoon, alternate dollops of chocolate batter and vanilla batter in the prepared cake pan, creating a marble effect. Use a butter knife to gently swirl the batters for a more pronounced marbled pattern. Avoid over-swirling to maintain distinct layers.
Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan before transferring it to a serving platter.
Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving, if desired. Slice and enjoy your flourless chocolate vanilla marble cake!
