Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz dark chocolate (70% cacao)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Melt dark chocolate and unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk granulated sugar and eggs together until pale and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
- Sift cocoa powder and salt into a separate bowl. Gradually fold into the egg-sugar mixture until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean with some moist crumbs attached. Allow to cool before removing from the pan.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
- Allow the cake to cool completely for improved texture.
- Dust with cocoa powder instead of flour for a gluten-free finish.
