Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 12-15
Ingredients
  • 16 oz gluten, dairy and soy free semi-sweet chocolate chunks (like Enjoy Life brand)
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup plus 2 Tbsp granulated white sugar
  • ¾ cup very hot strong coffee
  • 1 cup margarine (Earth Balance and Smart Balance have healthy fat profiles. If you need dairy and soybean oil free, Earth Balance makes a soy-free blend.)
  • 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar
  • Sliced strawberries
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Prepare a 10-cup springform pan by lining it with parchment coated with margarine.
  3. Put the chocolate chunks in a processor and pulse until broken up into small bits.
  4. Add the sugar and pulse until you get a uniform sandy grain.
  5. Pour the hot coffee into the feed tube with processor running and the chocolate will melt. You may need to scrape down the sides and reprocess to get a uniform batter.
  6. Add the margarine in spoonfuls and the cocoa powder and pulse to mix.
  7. Add the eggs and vanilla and process until smooth. The batter will be liquid and creamy.
  8. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  9. Take a long piece of aluminum foil and wrap it around the entire pan allowing it to stick up above the pan.
  10. Bake at 350 degrees F in the center of the oven about an hour and 25 minutes. Start checking it every 10 minutes after an hour. When it’s done the center will appear dry and a toothpick inserted in the center will come out just about clean with maybe a crumb or two. If the outside browns too much before the center is dry you can fold down the foil over the edges.
  11. Let cake cool completely. Then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least three hours or overnight.
  12. To serve sift powdered sugar over the cake and top with sliced strawberries.
