A flavorful, exquisite and luxurious dark chocolate cake made with butter, eggs, chocolate, and sugar - that's right, no flour. Similar to a brownie, but a little fudgier. Could be topped with anything you look, but whipped cream and rasperries usually do the trick.
Ingredients
- 200 gram butter
- 150 gram dark chocolate
- 200 gram sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 400 gram dulce de leche (optional)
- 200 gram whipped cream
- Raspberries/blueberries/strawberries

Directions
- Step 1
Preheat oven at low temperature (160ºC/320ºF)
- Step 2
Melt together the dark chocolate and the butter, making sure to place the first over the latter in order to avoid it burning. Once there are only a few chunks of it left, remove from heat and mix to melt completely.
- Step 3
Beat the eggs, one at the time, and add the sugar. Incorporate.
- Step 4
Combine the eggs and sugar with the chocolate and butter. Add one tablespoon of flour and combine again, mixing carefully.
- Step 5
Lightly butter a cake pan (you can also add cacao powder to avoid sticking + add more flavour), add the mixture and take it to the oven for 30-35 minutes. When a knife comes out only a little moist, it's ready.
- Step 6
Let chill for at least two hours and decorate to taste. Personally, I like using dulce de leche (the repostero variety), whipped cream and different fruits such as strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, but the options are endless.
- Step 7
Once decorated, chill for an extra 2 hours in the fridge before serving.
