Baking Instructions
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- 2
Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- 3
Mix Sugar and Vanilla
Once the chocolate-butter mixture has cooled, stir in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until well combined.
- 4
Add Eggs
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
- 5
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder and salt. Gradually fold this into the chocolate mixture until just combined.

Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cake has set around the edges but is still slightly soft in the center.

Cool and Serve
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a plate and remove the parchment paper. Let it cool completely before serving.
