Ingredients
- 1 cup(s) (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for greasing
- 3/4 cup(s) good-quality cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup(s) all-purpose flour
- 4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 cup(s) sugar
- 1 vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped
- 1 tablespoon(s) framboise liqueur (optional)
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly butter 2-quart shallow oval baking dish.
Into medium bowl, sift together cocoa powder and flour. In large bowl, with mixer on medium-high speed, beat eggs and sugar 5 to 10 minutes or until very thick and light yellow.
Reduce speed to low; add vanilla seeds, framboise (if using), and cocoa mixture. Mix just until combined. Slowly pour in butter; mix just until combined.
Pour mixture into prepared dish set in larger baking pan. Add hot tap water to pan to come halfway up side of dish.
Bake exactly 1 hour. A toothpick inserted 2 inches from side will come out clean. Center will appear very under-baked. Cool completely.
Serve with ice cream.
