Chocolate Cake – A Heavenly Dessert

Recipe Introduction

Hello dear readers, I am Antonio Delizia, your trustworthy cook blogger and passionate chocolate lover. Today I want to share a very special recipe with you: My secret chocolate cake recipe. This cake is not just any chocolate cake, it is a homage to the chocolate itself, a true explosion of the sweet, sensual, and rich taste that makes chocolate a universal favorite. This cake is special, because it is indeed my own creation. After years of trying, mistakes, adjustments, and improvements, I have found the perfect balance between moisture, sweetness, and chocolatiness. The quality of the chocolate is key to this recipe. I recommend using a high-quality dark chocolate that is rich in cocoa – about 70% or more. It makes the cake dark, intense, and less sweet, which makes it special. And here is my secret tip: Add a pinch of salt. Yes, salt! It helps to intensify the chocolate flavor and gives the cake a sensual note that distinguishes it from other chocolate cakes. I hope you enjoy baking and enjoying this magnificent chocolate cake, which is a true treat for all senses. Trust me, once you have tried this cake, you will never want another chocolate cake again.

General Description

Our chocolate cake recipe is a true delight for all sweet tooth and chocolate lovers. The preparation is simple and the result is a juicy, chocolatey cake that melts on the tongue. The main ingredients are high-quality dark chocolate, butter, sugar, eggs, flour, and baking powder. The dark chocolate gives the cake an intense, rich taste, while the butter and eggs give it a soft, moist texture. The flour and baking powder ensure the right structure and fluffiness. The cake is baked in a preheated oven until it is perfect – a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Let the cake cool completely before serving – if you can, resist the temptation to grab a piece!

Ingredients

200g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
200g soft butter
200g sugar
4 large eggs
200g flour
1 tsp baking powder
A pinch of salt
Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a round cake tin (approx. 24 cm diameter) and line it with baking paper.

Step 2

Melt the chocolate and butter in a large bowl over a pot of simmering water (the bowl should not touch the water). Stir until completely melted and then let it cool down a bit.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk the sugar and eggs until frothy. Stir in the melted chocolate-butter mixture and mix well.

Step 4

Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Add these dry ingredients to the chocolate mixture and stir gently until just incorporated.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake for about 45-50 minutes. Let the cake cool in the tin before you carefully remove it and dust it with powdered sugar.
