Ingredients
Scale
- 680 g (24 oz) sugar-free dark chocolate (chopped)
- 340 g (1 ½ cups) unsalted butter
- 6 large eggs (at room temperature)
- 60 g (½ cup) powdered monk fruit allulose blend
- 1 ½ tsps vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp sea salt (optional – skip if using salted butter)
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 23 cm (9 inch) springform pan with parchment paper and thoroughly grease the sides to ensure smooth cake release.
- Chocolate Base Creation: Melt chocolate and butter using a double boiler or microwave at medium-low power. Stir gently to maintain a uniform liquid consistency, preventing ingredient separation.
- Mixing Foundation: Combine melted chocolate mixture with vanilla extract and salt. Use a hand mixer at low speed to blend ingredients smoothly, creating a rich, homogeneous base.
- Egg Integration: Gradually incorporate eggs into the chocolate mixture, beating at low speed after each addition. This technique ensures thorough blending and maintains the batter’s delicate texture.
- Sweetener Incorporation: Fold in powdered monk fruit sweetener using low-speed mixing. Continue until the batter reaches a mostly smooth consistency with subtle textural nuances.
- Baking Preparation: Transfer batter to the prepared pan, spreading evenly with a spatula. Place the pan on a baking sheet to catch potential drips and ensure even heat distribution.
- Baking and Cooling Process: Bake for approximately 25 minutes until edges form a delicate crust while the center remains slightly underdone. Allow the cake to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate overnight to set and develop deep flavor profiles.
- Serving Presentation: Remove cake from refrigerator 1 hour before serving. Release from springform pan and transfer to a serving plate. Optionally dust with powdered sweetener for an elegant finishing touch. Slice and serve at room temperature to maximize flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Precise Temperature Control: Monitor oven heat closely to achieve the perfect balance between a delicate crust and a soft, fudgy center.
- Chocolate Melting Mastery: Use gentle heat and consistent stirring to create a smooth, glossy chocolate base without burning or separating.
- Egg Integration Technique: Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly to maintain the cake’s luxurious, silky texture and prevent potential curdling.
- Chilling is Crucial: Refrigerate overnight to allow the cake to set completely, intensifying its rich chocolate flavor and creating a dense, decadent consistency.
