Ingredients for Your Choco-licious Adventure
- 1 cup (6 oz) high-quality dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- Chocolate ganache (optional, but let’s be real: is it ever optional?)
Instructions to Chocolate Domination
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with some butter and line the bottom with parchment paper. This cake needs all the love it can get!
- In a medium saucepan, melt the dark chocolate and butter over low heat. Stir until perfectly smooth, then remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. We don’t want melted chocolate burns now, do we?
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, salt, and vanilla. Add the eggs one by one, making sure they’re fully incorporated before adding the next. This is a chocolate mousse cake, not a scrambled egg surprise!
- Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. It’ll look dreamy, just like the cake you’re about to create!
- Sift in the cocoa powder and mix until everything is combined. Hello, chocolate happiness!
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs. Get a toothpick that’s not filled with dirt, please!
- Once done, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a plate. Lift it gently like you’d lift your hopes before diving into a box of chocolates!
- For the ganache, melt some chocolate and mix in heavy cream until silky smooth. Pour this over your cake like you’re drenching it in pure liquid love!
And there you have it! Your Flourless Chocolate Mousse Cake with Chocolate Ganache is ready to wow everyone at the next gathering, or just you late at night while wearing pajamas. Enjoy each heavenly bite and don’t forget to share—maybe… if you want to. Happy baking!
