1
Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and butter together until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2
Whisk Eggs and Sugar
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until light and fluffy.
3
Combine Mixtures
Gradually fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until fully combined.
4
Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch round cake pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes or until the center is set.
5
Cool and Serve
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before inverting onto a plate. Serve with a drizzle of dulce de leche and a dollop of whipped cream.
