Ingredients
  

  • 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 9x5-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.
