Ingredients

• 200 grams dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa)
• 100 grams unsalted butter
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 60 milliliters strong brewed coffee
• 30 milliliters almond liqueur (e.g., Amaretto)
• 50 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 pinch pinch of salt
• 10 grams powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
• 100 grams fresh berries (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 20 cm (8-inch) round cake pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl along with the butter. Melt them gently over a double boiler, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the sugar and eggs together until pale and frothy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the melted chocolate mixture while whisking, ensuring the chocolate is not too hot to avoid scrambling the eggs.

Step 5

Stir in the brewed coffee and almond liqueur until well combined.

Step 6

Sift the flour and salt into the bowl, then gently fold the mixture together using a spatula until just incorporated. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly wobbly. The dessert should have a molten texture in the middle.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. The cake may sink slightly in the center, which is normal.

Step 10

Dust with powdered sugar before serving and garnish with fresh berries if desired. Serve warm for the best texture.
