INGREDIENTS
- 1 Package (250g) unsalted butter
- 1 ½ Package (300g) chopped dark chocolate (couverture)
- 3 Tablespoons espresso coffee or 1 tablespoon instant coffee dissolved in 2 tablespoons hot water
- 6 Eggs, yolks and whites separated
- 3/4 Cup (170g) granulated sugar
- 1 Cup (100g) soft light brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon (10g) vanilla extract
- 3 Tablespoons (30g) cocoa powder
For serving
- Raspberries and blueberries
METHOD
- Preheat the oven to 160°C. Butter a 23 cm springform pan and line the base with parchment paper.
- In a glass bowl, place the butter and chocolate and melt them over a double boiler (bain-marie). That is, place the bowl over a saucepan of water. Be careful, the bottom of the bowl must not touch the water. Heat until the chocolate melts. Add the coffee to the chocolate and stir.
- Place the egg whites in a mixer and beat until you have stiff peaks (a firm meringue). Transfer this to a bowl. Put the yolks, both types of sugar, and vanilla into the mixer bowl. Beat for 5 minutes until the yolks lighten and the mixture becomes fluffy.
- Add the sifted cocoa powder and the cooled chocolate mixture. Lower the mixer bowl and gently fold in the meringue using a spatula with circular motions.
- Pour the mixture into the pan and bake in the preheated oven for 70 minutes. To check if it's done, insert a wooden skewer into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, then remove it from the oven. Let it cool and garnish with the raspberries and blueberries.
