Chocolate Cake with Berry Crumble. If you’re a chocolate lover and don’t want to miss out on this cake! The berry crumble makes an irresistible cake for a tasty snack, to be served sliced.

This cake was a wonderful surprise for us, a perfect combination of ingredients that resulted in a wonderful outcome: a soft, fragrant cake that makes you want to eat it slice after slice. Ask my husband, who kept slicing it and saying: this dessert is unbelievably delicious!

But that’s not all, you should know it’s also a very simple cake, prepared with a few quick steps and ingredients available to everyone, these are the recipes I like and share with you more willingly.

Those crunchy crumbs placed on top of the fragrant filling provide a pleasant surprise in the dessert, bite after bite, the soft part of the dough meets another texture and merges into a single harmony.

Naturally, it’s also a dessert that can be tailored to your tastes: change the filling and swap brown sugar for granulated sugar and you’ll have a new dessert that will conquer you as well.

Of course, at the supermarket, I dove into the frozen section and bought berries. They are like fresh ones, cost three times less, and are certainly more inspected.

They didn’t even turn out to be as liquid as I feared; instead, the released liquid is quite pleasant when paired with the crunchiness of the topping and the softness of the berries.

Steps

Chocolate Cake with Crumble

In a bowl, place the flour, raw brown sugar, soft butter in pieces, a pinch of salt, and mix with your hands until you obtain a dry, sandy crumble that we cover with plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator.
In a stand mixer, or with electric beaters, whip the whole eggs and two egg whites with the sugar and a pinch of salt until you get a frothy and light mixture
(You need to whip for at least 10 minutes).
Gradually add the oil while continuing to whip.
(While the eggs whip, sift the flour, starch, and baking powder with the cocoa).
Now, with a spatula, incorporate the almond flour, potato starch, all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and baking powder, which we previously sifted together.
Mix everything well with a spatula, stirring from bottom to top. Finally, add the chocolate chips and mix.
Pour the mixture into a 10-inch diameter cake pan, greased and dusted with cocoa.
Retrieve the crumble from the fridge and mix it with your hands with the berries.
Cover the surface of the cake with the previously prepared crumble, adding the berries.
Bake at 347°F, preheated and static oven, for about 40 min.
(Do the skewer test to check for doneness).
Remove from the oven and let it cool before removing from the pan.
A dusting of powdered sugar and it’s ready to be served.
Enjoy your meal.
