Preparation Steps
1
Melt the dark chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler). Let it cool to room temperature.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Gently fold in the melted chocolate mixture.
3
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Gradually add to the chocolate mixture, mixing until just combined.
4
Pour the batter into a greased and floured cake pan. Sprinkle half of the fresh blackberries over the batter. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
5
While the cake is cooling, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
6
Once the cake has cooled completely, frost it with the whipped cream and decorate with the remaining blackberries. Dust with a little cocoa powder or grated chocolate, if desired.
7
Refrigerate the cake for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to set.
