Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 g plain unsalted butter
- 150 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher, unsweetened if possible)
- 30 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 100 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder (low sodium)
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 50 g unsweetened shredded coconut
- 60 ml almond milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch square baking tray with parchment paper.
Melt the unsalted butter and dark chocolate together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth.
Remove the melted chocolate mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and low sodium baking powder.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until light and fluffy.
Slowly add the slightly cooled melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, whisking continuously until well combined.
Gently fold in the sifted dry ingredients, ensuring no lumps remain.
Stir in the shredded coconut and almond milk, mixing just until the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the chocolate slice to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, remove from the pan, cut into 12 equal slices, and serve.
