Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.

Mix Sugar and Eggs
In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.

Combine Mixtures
Slowly fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Be careful not to deflate the eggs.

Pour and Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
