Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g Unsalted butter
- 200 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 4 large Eggs
- 250 g All-purpose flour
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 100 g Ground almonds
- 150 g Dark chocolate, melted
- 100 ml Whole milk
- 15 g Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (355°F) and grease a 22cm (9-inch) round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the vanilla extract, then beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each one is fully incorporated before adding the next.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Stir in the ground almonds.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in batches, alternating with the milk. Mix gently until combined.
Pour in the melted dark chocolate and fold through the batter until evenly distributed.
Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
