Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan or line the bottom with parchment paper.
- 2
In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and butter together, stirring until smooth.
- 3
Once melted, remove from heat and allow to cool briefly.
- 4
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar until slightly thickened and pale in color. This will ensure the cake rises nicely.
- 5
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the eggs, adding the brewed coffee and vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined and smooth.
- 6
Carefully fold in the pinch of salt. Be gentle to maintain airiness in the mixture.
- 7
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
- 8
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cake has set around the edges but is still slightly soft in the centre.
- 9
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Dust with cocoa powder if you wish to add a flourish.
This indulgent dessert is a testament to how a simple cake can bring joy, even during rationing! The espresso elevates the chocolate while keeping the sugar content in check.
