Equipment

  • 1 10" springform pan
  • 1 metal baking pan

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz dark chocolate
  • 16 tbsp plant-based butter, unsalted or dairy butter
  • 5 eggs, large
  • 1 1/4 cup sugar
  • powdered sugar optional
  • raspberries optional
  • whipping cream optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 10" springform pan with baking spray, then seal the base of the pan in foil to prevent water from leaking in.
  • Melt chocolate and butter together in a double boiler or in the microwave. If using the microwave, cook on high in 30 second increments until it is completely smooth. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Whisk sugar and eggs together in a large bowl until fully combined. Slowly pour chocolate over mixture stirring quickly until fully combined.
  • Pour the mixture into the springform pan, cover tightly with foil and place into a baking pan. Fill the baking pan with very hot water until it is about 1" high. Bake for 75 minutes.
  • Remove from the water bath and allow it to cool completely before serving.
  • Garnish with raspberries and powdered sugar or whipped cream, as desired.
