Equipment
Ingredients
Cake
- ½ cup salted butter
- 1 cup semi sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips or half of each
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Glaze
- 3 Tbsp salted butter
- ⅔ cup high quality semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a round 8" round cake pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick spray. Set aside. Preheat oven to 375°.
- Melt butter in a large heatproof bowl in the microwave. Add the chocolate chips and let sit for 3-4 minutes. Stir together till chips melt, adding additional cooking time if needed. Let cool for 5 minutes.
- Whisk the sugar, salt, and vanilla into the chocolate mixture. Add the three eggs and whisk till well blended. Stir in the cocoa powder.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake at 375° for 25 minutes or till toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cake cool in pan for about 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack. Immediately flip right side up onto another wire rack. Cool completely.
Glaze:
- Combine butter and chocolate chips in a glass bowl. Microwave for 1-3 minutes or till melted, stirring every 30 seconds.
- Spread the glaze over the cooled cake. Let sit for several hours till the chocolate sets.
- Serve cake as is, or with fresh raspberries, whipped cream, or ice cream.
Notes
- Dark chocolate gives this cake its rich flavor, so I don't recommend replacing the semisweet chocolate chips with milk chocolate.
- You can use chopped chocolate bars in place of the chocolate chips.
