Chocolate Cake with Berries
Are you looking for an easy and delicious dessert to enjoy with your partner on Valentine's Day? The chocolate cake with berries is a very quick and romantic recipe, I would say, even more if you make it in the shape of a heart. The berries give their unique taste, while the powdered sugar that decorates it makes it the first choice even for the Sunday cake that you want to make for your children!
Equipment
- 1 heart shaped cake pan 33cm
Ingredients
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 220 g berries mix (the mix I used contains: red and black currants, red and black berries, strawberries and blueberries)
- 155 ml coconut milk
- 110 g vegan butter
- 80 g brown sugar
- 80 g granulated sugar
- 100 g black chocolate
- 100 g couverture drops
- 30 g cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla Bourbon
- 1 pinch of salt
- powdered sugar (for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven at 180°C.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan and set it aside to cool.
- Heat the coconut milk in a saucepan and add the black chocolate to melt it. Make sure the kitchen eye is at a low temperature so the milk won't get burnt and leave it aside waiting for it to cool.
- Add the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt to a bowl and mix them.
- Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, milk with the black chocolate that we have melted and the vanilla in another bowl and mix well.
- Pour the contents from the second bowl into the first and mix until the ingredients are homogenized.
- Then, add the berries mix and the couverture drops and continue mixing.
- Flour the form and pour the contents of the bowl inside it.
- Use a spoon to spread the mixture evenly over the whole form and bake for about 30-35 minutes.
- Serve by adding powdered sugar.
- Enjoy!
