Ingredients
Method
Directions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Stir continuously until both have melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Mix Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring until smooth.
Add Cocoa and Salt
Sift in the cocoa powder and add a pinch of salt. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.
Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.
