Ingredients
- 7 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 7 oz dark chocolate, chopped
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Heat Chocolate Mixture: Place the butter, chopped dark chocolate, and heavy cream in a small saucepan. Heat gently over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Combine with Eggs: In a mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs until just combined. Gradually add the warm chocolate mixture to the eggs while stirring continuously until the batter is fully blended.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 18 to 20 minutes. The cake is ready when the center still jiggles slightly, indicating the cake is half-baked.
- Cool Before Serving: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan to help it set, as it will be very soft. Once cooled, remove from the pan and serve.
Notes
- Line the baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Since the cake is very soft, let it cool in the pan before serving.
- If baked a little longer, the texture will change but it will still be delicious, becoming more firm.
