Instructions
Creating this delightful Dubai Chocolate Recipe involves several straightforward steps:
1. Preheat: Begin by preheating your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
2. Melt Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) until smooth, stirring occasionally.
3. Combine Eggs & Sugar: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until they become pale and frothy.
4. Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
5. Incorporate Chocolate Mixture: Gradually add the melted chocolate and butter blend to the egg mixture, mixing well.
6. Add Dry Ingredients: Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
7. Flavor Enhancement: If desired, add a pinch of cardamom or saffron to enhance the flavor further. Stir gently to combine.
8. Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
9. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-40 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
10. Cool: Once done, remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Dust & Serve: Before serving, dust with cocoa powder for a touch of elegance.
