Instructions:
-
Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
-
Melt Chocolate:
- In a microwave or double boiler, melt the butter and chocolate until smooth and well combined.
- Allow the mixture to cool for about 10 minutes to prevent it from cooking the eggs when combined.
-
Prepare Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt until the mixture becomes thick and creamy, which should take around 4 minutes.
- Gradually blend in the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
-
Incorporate Flour:
- Stir in the flour gradually, ensuring it is well mixed into the batter.
-
Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating that the cake is done.
-
Cooling:
- Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack before removing it from the pan.
-
Glazing:
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze by combining all the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan.
- Cook and stir the glaze over low heat until it melts and becomes smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.
-
Finishing Touches:
- Once the cake has cooled, run a knife around the edge of the springform pan to loosen it.
- Carefully remove the cake from the pan and transfer it to a serving plate.
- Spread the prepared glaze generously over the top and sides of the cake, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
-
Serving:
- Optionally, serve slices of the rich truffle dessert cake with a dollop of pureed raspberry sauce for an extra burst of flavor and elegance.
