Ingredients
Scale
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
2 large eggs (room temperature)
½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 cup high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
1 cup fresh blackberries
1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two round cake pans.
Melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in short bursts until smooth.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sugar.
In another mixing bowl, combine melted butter and eggs until well blended; stir in melted chocolate.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined.
Pour the batter evenly into prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow cakes to cool completely before glazing: blend blackberries with powdered sugar for the glaze and drizzle over cooled cakes.
Notes
This cake is perfect for celebrations.
Serve with extra fresh blackberries on top for decoration.
