  • flour1 cup flour
  • cocoa powder1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • baking powder1 tsp baking powder
  • tequila1/4 cup tequila
  • vanilla extract1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. First, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease your cake tin with butter or cooking spray to prevent the cake from sticking.
  2. In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together over a pot of simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth and fully combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together until they become fluffy and light in color. This process incorporates air into the mixture, making the cake lighter.
  4. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder together into a bowl. This ensures there are no lumps and helps to evenly distribute the baking powder.
  5. Combine the melted chocolate and butter mixture with the sugar and egg mixture and stir until well combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
  7. Stir in the tequila and vanilla extract. The tequila will add a unique flavor to the cake, while the vanilla extract enhances the chocolate flavor.
  8. Pour the batter into the greased cake tin, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  9. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  10. Allow the cake to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This makes it easier to slice and serve.

Notes

You can adjust the amount of tequila to your taste. If you prefer a stronger tequila flavor, add an extra tablespoon or two. Don't worry, the alcohol will evaporate during baking, leaving behind only the flavor.

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a cake tin to ensure easy removal of the cake later on.
  2. In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together. You can do this by placing the bowl over a pot of simmering water or by using short bursts in the microwave. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together until fluffy and pale in color. This will help to incorporate air into the mixture and create a light texture.
  4. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder together to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
  5. Gradually add the melted chocolate and butter mixture to the sugar and egg mixture, stirring well after each addition. This will prevent the eggs from scrambling due to the heat of the chocolate.

  7. Stir in the tequila and vanilla extract, infusing the cake with the unique flavors of tequila. Adjust the amount of tequila to your taste preferences. If you prefer a stronger tequila flavor, feel free to add an extra tablespoon or two. Don't worry, the alcohol will evaporate during baking, leaving behind only the flavor.
  8. Pour the batter into the greased cake tin, spreading it evenly to ensure even baking.
  9. Bake the cake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is fully cooked and moist.
  10. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
