Rich Chocolate Gateau
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a round cake tin.
-
Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir until smooth and well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until pale and fluffy. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture, whisking constantly.
-
Sift in the flour and cocoa powder, then fold gently until just combined.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
-
Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In the meantime, whip the cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until soft peaks form.
-
Once the cake has cooled, slice it in half horizontally. Spread a layer of whipped cream on the bottom half and place the top half back on.
-
Cover the entire cake with the remaining whipped cream. Decorate with fresh berries.
-
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Serve chilled and enjoy!
