Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 250 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 50 grams chocolate shavings or curls (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Grease and line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
Melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk the granulated sugar and eggs together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Sift the unsweetened cocoa powder over the batter and fold it in until fully incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until the cake is firm.
When ready to serve, remove the cake from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
Run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake. Carefully remove the springform ring and transfer the cake to a serving plate.
Optional: Garnish the top of the cake with chocolate shavings or curls for an elegant finish.
Slice with a sharp knife dipped in warm water and serve immediately. Enjoy!
