- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, divided
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs, slightly beaten
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- powered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Take an 8″ springform (paid link) cake pan; cut a piece of parchment to fit, lay it in the bottom of the pan, and lightly grease it.
- Place 1 cup chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 1 ½ minutes. Stir until combined. Stir in the sugar, espresso powder, salt, and vanilla extract.
- Add the eggs and whisk (paid link) until smooth. Add the cocoa powder and mix to combine. Don’t over-mix. Pour the batter into the cake pan.
- Bake the cake for 25 minutes. The cake should register at least 200°F when an instant-read thermometer is inserted into its center. Remove it from the oven and allow the cake to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, make the chocolate ganache. Place 1 cup chocolate and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 1 ½ minutes. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
- Spread the chocolate ganache glaze evenly over the cake. Allow the glaze to set for several hours before serving the cake.
- Cut the cake into slices and sprinkle with powdered sugar and raspberries, if desired.
