🧾 Ingredients:
200 g 72% dark chocolate
4 eggs
125 g butter
150 g granulated sugar
1 sachet vanilla powder
A pinch of salt
👩🍳 Method:
Melt the butter and chocolate in a double boiler until smooth.
Separate the egg yolks from the whites.
Whip the egg whites until stiff with a pinch of salt.
Beat the yolks with sugar and vanilla until pale and creamy.
Gently mix the melted chocolate into the yolk mixture.
Fold in the whipped egg whites from bottom to top to keep the mixture fluffy.
Pour the batter into a greased cake pan lined with parchment paper (do not flour the pan if serving to celiacs).
Bake in a preheated static oven at 180°C (356°F) for 30–35 minutes.
Do the toothpick test and let cool completely before serving.
A versatile and gluten-free dessert
Perfect on its own, or served with a spoonful of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.
Also a great base for layered cakes, as it stays firm and flavorful.
A real lifesaver when guests are coming and you want to offer something special… but are short on time.
How we serve it at Cascina Facelli
We often prepare it for the weekend, cut it into rounds, and dust it with a little unsweetened cocoa.
It’s a dessert everyone loves — kids and adults alike. And without even trying, it makes those with dietary restrictions happy too.
