Ingredients
Cake:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Pinch of salt
Ganache:
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch round cake with non-stick cooking spray and line the bottom with a parchment paper round.
- Place the butter and chocolate chips in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until the chocolate chips are melted and smooth. Remove from microwave. Whisk in the sugar then the eggs one at a time until batter is smooth. Add the cocoa powder, vanilla and salt and then whisk until well incorporated and the batter is smooth.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely in pan.
- For the ganache, place the chocolate chips and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on low power until just melted, about 1 minute. Whisk until completely melted and then whisk in the heavy cream until smooth. Let cool for a few minutes. If the ganache is too thick, whisk in a little more heavy cream.
- Invert cake onto a serving plate. Spread ganache over the cake.
- Garnish with raspberries and powdered sugar, if desired.
