Ingredients
Scale
1 cup of lemon zest (about 4–5 lemons)
1 cup of granulated sugar
1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of dark chocolate chips or chunks
1/2 cup of heavy cream
Fresh fruits (like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries) for garnish
Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Suggested substitutions: Use coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free version; almond flour can replace all-purpose flour for a gluten-free option.
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and granulated sugar. Use a hand mixer to cream them together until light and fluffy.
Add the lemon zest and mix until thoroughly combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each one is fully incorporated before adding the next.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add this mixture to the lemon mixture, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease and flour a 9×9 inch baking dish and pour the batter into the dish. Bake for around 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
While the base is cooling, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it simmers. Remove from heat and stir in dark chocolate chips until smooth.
Once cooled, cut the lemon layers into bite-sized squares. Arrange on a serving board alongside fresh fruits and drizzle chocolate ganache over the top.
Dust with powdered sugar for an elegant touch.
