Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Melt Chocolate and Butter

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

  3. 3

    Mix Sugar and Eggs

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until pale and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Add the cooled chocolate and butter mixture to the egg and sugar mixture. Stir until just combined.

  5. 5

    Add Vanilla and Dry Ingredients

    Stir in the vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt until fully incorporated.

  6. 6

    Bake the Cake

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

  7. 7

    Cool the Cake

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