Ingredients

  • 200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
  • 200g unsalted butter, cubed
  • 200g granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • For ganache topping: 50g dark chocolate and 2 tbsp heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line it with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler. Stir until smooth and let it cool slightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until thick and pale. Gently fold in the melted chocolate mixture.
  4. Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix gently until fully combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25–30 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly soft.
  6. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Prepare the ganache by heating heavy cream until simmering, then pour over chopped chocolate. Stir until smooth and pour over the cooled cake.
  8. Slice and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Tips for the Best Gluten-Free Cake

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for the richest flavor.
  • Ensure eggs are at room temperature to achieve a lighter texture.
  • Do not overbake; the center should remain moist and fudgy.
  • Optional: dust the top with powdered sugar or cocoa powder for a decorative touch.
