Cake Ingredients

Method

Cake Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven and Pan

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Melt Chocolate and Butter

    In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture, stirring continuously.

  4. 4

    Add Cocoa and Salt

    Sift in the cocoa powder and add a pinch of salt. Mix until the batter is smooth and glossy.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cake

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

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve as is or dust with powdered sugar.
