Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces. Melt the chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
Gently fold in the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture. Stir until well combined.
In another bowl, sift together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the chocolate mixture, and gently mix until just combined.
Add the milk and vanilla extract to the batter and stir until the batter is smooth and evenly mixed.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before releasing the springform edge. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake is cool, dust with additional cocoa powder or top with your favorite gluten-free frosting before serving.
