  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate & Flavorings

  • 150g high-quality Swiss chocolate
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt (included above)

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 fresh eggs
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (113g) butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Baking Pan: Start by greasing an 8-inch round cake pan and lining it with parchment paper; this ensures the cake releases effortlessly after baking, preserving its moist texture.
  2. Melt the Chocolate and Butter: Gently melt the Swiss chocolate and butter together over a double boiler or low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and fully combined. This creates a luscious base for your cake batter.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to distribute the leavening agents evenly through the mixture.
  4. Whisk Eggs and Sugar: In another large bowl, beat the eggs with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture turns pale and thickens, which helps build volume for a light crumb.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Slowly fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg-sugar blend, then gently incorporate the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix to keep the cake tender.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before removing it. This resting time helps the texture set perfectly for slicing and presentation.

Notes

  • Choose Quality Chocolate: Use high-quality Swiss chocolate for a richer and more authentic flavor experience.
  • Measure Ingredients Precisely: Accurate measurements ensure perfect moisture and structure every time.
  • Don’t Overmix Batter: Gently folding ingredients preserves air and prevents a dense cake.
  • Check Oven Temperature: Use an oven thermometer to avoid overbaking, which can dry out the cake.
  • Let It Rest: Cooling the cake properly before cutting helps maintain moisture and beautiful slices.
