RecipeIngredients
- 4 oz chocolate chips unsweetened
- 1 stick or 8 tbsp grass fed butter
- 3 eggs
- ¾ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp sea salt
RecipeInstructions
- Take an 8 inch round springform pan or a cake pan and line the bottom and sides with parchment paper.
- Preheat oven to 375 deg F.
- In a medium size glass bowl, add the chocolate chips and the butter and place in microwave for 30 secs. Take out bowl and stir using a fork and place back in the microwave for 30 secs again. Take out and again stir with the fork until you see the chocolate chips melting with the butter (if this does not happen, heat for another 15-20 secs or so)
- In another bowl, beat the eggs together using an electric mixer until the yellow and the white are completely blended together as an emulsion (about 1 minute).
- Now slowly add the egg mixture to the chocolate mixture little by little and mix using electric mixer. Continue this until all egg mixture is incorporated. Now add the maple syrup, cocoa, vanilla and the salt and mix again till blended.
- Pour this mixture onto the prepared pan. Bake for 15-17 mins until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool before carefully removing cake from pan. Serve warm or chilled topped with fresh or frozen berries.
Notes
For paleo version, replace butter with coconut oil
