Description
A rich, indulgent, and naturally gluten-free flourless chocolate cake enhanced with the tart sweetness of fresh wineberries. Perfect for special occasions or satisfying a deep chocolate craving.
Ingredients
- 8 oz (225g) dark chocolate (70% or higher), chopped
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup fresh wineberries (plus extra for garnish)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir until smooth and remove from heat.
- Stir in the granulated sugar and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Sift in the cocoa powder and salt, then gently fold the mixture until fully combined.
- Gently fold in half of the wineberries, saving the rest for garnish.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove the springform ring and allow it to cool completely.
- Garnish with the remaining wineberries and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for best flavor.
- Raspberries or blackberries can be used instead of wineberries.
- The cake tastes even better the next day.
- Let the cake cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.
- Store in the refrigerator and serve at room temperature for best texture.
