Ingredients

• 230 grams Dark chocolate
• 170 grams Unsalted butter
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 5 pieces Large eggs
• 40 grams Cocoa powder (unsweetened, sifted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 10 grams Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
• 100 grams Fresh berries (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing it with butter and lining the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a double boiler or in the microwave in short 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

Step 3

Remove from heat and whisk in the granulated sugar until fully incorporated and the mixture cools slightly.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition until the mixture is glossy and smooth.

Step 5

Stir in the sifted cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until the batter is well combined and no lumps remain.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top has a thin crust. Avoid overbaking to maintain a fudgy texture.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges, then release the springform latch and allow the cake to cool completely.

Step 9

Transfer the cake to a serving platter. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and garnish with fresh berries for an added touch.

Step 10

Serve slices at room temperature or slightly chilled for the ultimate chocolate experience.
