How to Make Chocolate Indulgence Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 8 ounces (227g) semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter.
  3. Microwave on high for 2-minute intervals, stirring after each interval, until chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth.
  4. Let the chocolate mixture cool to room temperature.
  5. In a separate large bowl, beat 3 large eggs and 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until pale and thick (about 5 minutes).
  6. Gradually add the cooled chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring gently with a wire whisk until well combined.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (Add 5-10 minutes to the baking time if using a dark or bittersweet chocolate).
  11. Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Once completely cool, garnish with fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar.
