Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 ounces bittersweet dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa), chopped
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), cut into pieces
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides. Gather and measure all ingredients for a smooth baking process.
  2. Melt the Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl placed over simmering water, gently melt the chopped dark chocolate and unsalted butter together, stirring until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Whisk Eggs and Sugar: In a separate bowl, vigorously whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture becomes pale, slightly thickened, and creamy to incorporate air for a tender texture.
  4. Combine Chocolate and Egg Mixtures: Slowly fold the melted chocolate and butter blend into the egg mixture, mixing carefully to retain as much air as possible. The batter will be thick and luscious.
  5. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is still slightly soft. A toothpick inserted should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
  6. Cool Before Serving: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, run a knife around the edges and invert onto a serving plate. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Notes

  • Use quality chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overbake; keep the center slightly soft for a fudgy texture.
  • Fold the chocolate and egg mixtures gently to maintain airiness.
  • Use room temperature eggs for better batter blending and even rising.
  • Refrigerate the cake for a few hours before serving for a denser texture.
