Baking Instructions

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Melt the Chocolate and Butter
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth.

Mix Sugar and Eggs
Once melted, remove the bowl from heat and stir in the granulated sugar. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Add Dry Ingredients
Sift in the cocoa powder and salt, then add the vanilla extract. Gently fold the mixture until just combined.

Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cake has set but is still slightly moist in the center.

Cool and Serve
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
