Flourless dark chocolate cake

By Karen Schneid

Serves 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

500 g 70% dark chocolate
100 g butter
4 free-range eggs, separated
1 t vanilla extract
1 t baking powder
100 g sugar
berries, for serving
chocolate curls, for serving
whipped cream, for serving

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease 2 x 18 cm cake tins. Melt the chocolate, then remove from the heat. Add the butter, egg yolks, vanilla, baking powder and sugar.

2. Beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Fold the whites into the chocolate mixture. Bake for 45 minutes. Decorate with berries and chocolate curls and serve with whipped cream.

Cook’s note: If the cake sinks because it’s not evenly cooked, serve it as a dessert with spoons. It might look less presentable, but is still just as delicious.
