Description
A rich and decadent Chocolate Terrine Cake that is perfect for chocolate lovers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Fresh berries (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips and heavy cream together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously until fully incorporated.
- Sift in the cocoa powder and gently fold it into the batter until no lumps remain.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
- Before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh berries if desired.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of espresso powder to the chocolate mixture.
- You can substitute the semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate for a more intense chocolate flavor.
