Ingredients
- 1 cup dairy/non-dairy dark chocolate
- ½ cup (1 stick) dairy/non-dairy butter
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 3 eggs
- 1 egg white
- ¼ cup Otto’s Naturals Cassava Flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Grease and flour an 8-inch* baking pan and set aside.
- Melt the chocolate and butter together in the microwave in 30-second intervals until melted. Set aside.
- Whisk the 3 whole eggs and 1 egg yolk with the sugar until pale and fluffy.
- Whisk the egg white until stiff peaks and set aside.
- Whisk the flour and cocoa powder into the sugar-egg mixture.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the batter and fold gently until incorporated. Fold in the egg white gently.
- Transfer ¾ of the batter to the prepared cake pan and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. (Refrigerate the remaining batter while the first portion is baking.)
- Once the first portion is baked, allow the cake to cool for at least 30 minutes. Place the remaining batter on top of the cake. Bake again for 10 minutes, or until it forms a thin crust top.
- While warm, slice and enjoy!
