Ingredients

• 180 grams Unsalted butter
• 200 grams Dark chocolate
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 100 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional for serving)
• 1 as needed Butter or non-stick spray for greasing pan

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with butter or non-stick spray, and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and dark chocolate over low heat, stirring continuously until smooth. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar together until pale and thick, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the melted chocolate mixture while whisking constantly to incorporate fully. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

Step 5

Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is just set but the center still jiggles slightly when shaken. Do not overbake to achieve the gooey center.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pan, then invert the cake onto a serving plate.

Step 9

Optional: Dust the top with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness before serving warm or at room temperature.

Step 10

Slice the cake and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh berries for an extra indulgence!
