Ingredients

• 200 grams Dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
• 115 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 4 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

Melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir until smooth and remove from heat. Let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened, about 2–3 minutes.

Step 4

Slowly pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly until fully combined.

Step 5

Add the vanilla extract and salt, and fold them into the batter until smooth.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and level the surface with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly soft. The edges should pull away slightly from the pan.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with cocoa powder (optional) before serving.

Step 10

Slice and enjoy with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra treat.
