Description
A delightful dessert that combines the richness of chocolate with the creamy flavor of egg liqueur, perfect for special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 230 g Butter, softened
- 180 g Sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 vanilla bean (optional)
- 4 eggs (size M)
- 200 g Eierlikör (egg liqueur)
- 320 g All-purpose flour
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 100 g Dark chocolate
- 1 tbsp Powdered sugar (optional)
- Some butter for the pan
- 1 tbsp Flour for the pan
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Grease a bundt cake pan (22 cm diameter) and dust it with flour, tapping out the excess.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugar, and salt until creamy and white. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean and add them to the mixture.
- Add the eggs one at a time, continuing to beat at high speed while incorporating the Eierlikör.
- Mix the flour and baking powder, then add them to the mixture. Finely chop the dark chocolate and fold it into the batter.
- Fill the prepared bundt cake pan with the batter and smooth the surface.
- Bake in the lower third of the preheated oven for about 1 hour. After baking, insert a toothpick: if batter sticks, bake for an additional 5 minutes and test again.
Notes
For a lovely finishing touch, dust the cake with powdered sugar. Pairs beautifully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Store in an airtight container.
