Salted Chocolate Chocolate Cake Recipe

Ingredients

  • Salted Chocoalte
  • 170g (6 oz) bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • Cake
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of fine sea salt
  • 185g (6 1/2 oz) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • Syrup
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 1/2 tbsp sugar

Instructions

  1. Salted Chocolate: Line 3 muffin cups or custard cups with non-stick baking paper. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave and when it is perfectly smooth, stir in the salt. Pour the chocolate into the cups to approx 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick and cover the cups with cling film. Freeze for at least 1 hour. When it is frozen, remove from the paper and cut into small cubes and place back into the freezer until you are ready to put it into the cake batter.
  2. Cake: Pre-heat oven to 180C/160C fan-forced/350F. Grease a 9 x 5 loaf tin, dust with flour and tap out the excess.
  3. In a large bowl sift the flour, cocoa powder and salt together.
  4. Cut the butter into pieces and put into a food processor or blender with the sugar and eggs and process for 6 minutes, scraping down the bowl a few times. Mix the butter mixture with the dry ingredients and then mix through the frozen salted chocolate. Scrape the batter into the loaf pan and bake for about 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean (be wary you may have hit some of the salted chocolate and don’t confuse that for the cake being under cooked).
  5. Transfer the cake to a rack and cool in the pan for 5 minutes then turn out onto the track and leave to cool right side up.
  6. Sugar Syrup: Bring the water and sugar to boil in a small microwave safe bowl and brush the top and sides of the still hot cake, with the hot syrup (you won’t be using it all, you just want to give it a nice even coating all over).
