Cake Ingredients

Method

Cake Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

  2. 2

    Melt Chocolate and Butter

    In a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture and mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Bake the Cake

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

  5. 5

    Cool the Cake

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
