Ingredients
- 8 ounces dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare an 8-inch round cake pan by greasing it with butter and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a double boiler or heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk the granulated sugar with the eggs until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously until fully blended.
Step 5
Add the vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and sift in the all-purpose flour. Gently fold everything together until no streaks remain.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly when the pan is gently shaken.
Step 8
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 9
Once cooled, carefully remove the cake from the pan and transfer it to a serving plate. Dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder before slicing and serving.
