Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a medium, heatproof bowl, combine the unsalted butter and bittersweet chocolate. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method) and gently melt together, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until the mixture is pale and frothy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the eggs and sugar, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared springform pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center no longer jiggles excessively (a toothpick inserted in the center should come out with some moist crumbs, but not wet batter).
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cool, run a knife along the edge of the pan to loosen the cake, then remove the sides of the springform pan.
Dust the top of the cake with unsweetened cocoa powder before serving. Slice and enjoy!
