1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
2
Melt 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), stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3
Mix Sugar and Eggs
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until well combined. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
4
Combine Mixtures
Slowly pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, stirring constantly to prevent cooking the eggs.
5
Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
6
Cool and Serve
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Serve plain or with whipped cream, berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
