Serves: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 200g dark chocolate
- 150g butter
- 200g sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 100g flour
- 150g raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat your steam oven to 160°C (320°F). This will ensure that the oven is ready for baking once your batter is prepared.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the 200g of dark chocolate and 150g of butter. Place the saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously until both the chocolate and butter have completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the 200g of sugar. Crack the 4 large eggs into the bowl with the sugar. Using a whisk or electric mixer, beat the mixture until it becomes pale and fluffy, which should take about 5 minutes.
- Once the chocolate and butter mixture has cooled slightly, slowly pour it into the egg and sugar mixture while continuously whisking. This will help to combine the ingredients without cooking the eggs.
- Sift the 100g of flour over the chocolate mixture and gently fold it in using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; just combine until there are no visible flour streaks.
- Gently fold in the 150g of raspberries, being cautious not to break them apart too much. You want to keep some whole for added texture and flavor.
- Prepare a round cake pan (approximately 9 inches in diameter) by greasing it with butter and lightly dusting it with flour. Alternatively, you can line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Place the cake pan in the preheated steam oven.
- Steam bake the cake for approximately 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should have risen and have a slight crust on top.
- Once baked, carefully remove the cake from the steam oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake has cooled, you can dust the top with powdered sugar or serve it with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
- Slice the cake into 10 servings and enjoy your delicious Steam Oven Raspberry Chocolate Cake!
Tips
- Use Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for high-quality dark chocolate and fresh raspberries. The better the ingredients, the richer the cake will taste!
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the flour and chocolate mixture, be gentle. Overmixing can lead to a dense cake, so fold until just combined for a light and airy texture.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your cake as it bakes. A toothpick should come out clean from the center, but the cake should still feel moist.
- Cool Properly: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. This helps maintain its shape and prevents sticking.
- Serve with Style: For an extra touch, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar or serve it alongside a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It’s a simple way to elevate your dessert presentation!
