How to Make Blackberry Chocolate Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (392°F). Grease and flour a 20cm springform pan.
  2. Melt 100g of butter and 150g of dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher) in a double boiler or microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 150g granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier (or other orange liqueur).
  4. Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 100g cornstarch and 50g ground almonds. Gradually add this to the chocolate mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.
  7. Gently press approximately 200g fresh blackberries into the batter.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. The cake should still be slightly moist in the center.
  9. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing the sides of the springform.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.
  11. Before serving, dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy as is, or with whipped cream, sour cream, or a scoop of your favorite ice cream!
