Chocolate Shortcake
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (29.5 g) baking cocoa
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅓ cup (67 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, cold
- ⅔ cup semisweet chocolate chips, plus extra for topping
- ¾ cup (45 g) heavy whipping cream
- 1 large egg, for egg wash
- ½ teaspoon coarse sugar
Preheat oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Cut in butter and chocolate chips until crumbly.
Add heavy whipping cream and stir until just moistened.
Divide dough into 8 patties, about ¾-inches thick. (They will be similar in size and shape to a hockey puck.)
Place the dough patties onto the lined baking sheet.
Brush with egg white; sprinkle with coarse sugar and the reserved chocolate chips.
Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with just a few crumbs. Allow to cool on a cooling rack.
Assembly
Cut the cooled chocolate shortcakes in half.
Place bottom half of shortcake on a plate and cover in strawberries, blueberries, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce.
Set top layer of shortcake on top. Cover in whipped cream, fruit, and chocolate sauce.
Serve immediately.
