- 150 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher, unsweetened if possible)
- 30 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 100 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder (low sodium)
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 50 g unsweetened shredded coconut
- 60 ml almond milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch square baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2
Melt the unsalted butter and dark chocolate together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth.
Step 3
Remove the melted chocolate mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and low sodium baking powder.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until light and fluffy.
Step 6
Slowly add the slightly cooled melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, whisking continuously until well combined.
Step 7
Gently fold in the sifted dry ingredients, ensuring no lumps remain.
Step 8
Stir in the shredded coconut and almond milk, mixing just until the batter is smooth.
Step 9
Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 11
Allow the chocolate slice to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 12
Once cooled, remove from the pan, cut into 12 equal slices, and serve.
