Method
Preparation

Prepare the Oven and Pan
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
- 3
Mix Sugar and Eggs
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until light and frothy.

Combine Mixtures
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring gently until well combined.

Add Cocoa Powder and Salt
Sift the unsweetened cocoa powder and salt into the chocolate mixture. Fold gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Bake the Torte
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Cool and Serve
Allow the torte to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
