This dense, fudgy cake gets its richness from melted dark chocolate and coconut oil, whisked together into a glossy, warm mixture that turns silky once the eggs are worked in one at a time. Cocoa powder folded through the batter deepens the chocolate flavor even further, while a splash of vanilla and a pinch of sea salt round everything out. The result bakes into a cake with set edges and a soft, barely-wobbly center that firms up beautifully as it cools — no flour, no fuss, just pure chocolate intensity in every slice. A dusting of cocoa and a handful of fresh berries on top make it feel special enough for a dinner party but simple enough for a weeknight craving. It's a genuinely solid choice for a dairy free dessert table, delivering all the decadence without anyone noticing what's missing.

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with a small amount of coconut oil, line the bottom with a round of parchment paper, and grease the parchment.
Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a large heatproof mixing bowl set over a medium saucepan of barely simmering water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water. Stir frequently until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth, about 4–5 minutes. Remove the bowl from the heat.
