Preheat your oven to 175Β°C (350Β°F) and prepare a 20 cm (8-inch) round springform pan by greasing it lightly and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it together with the butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Alternatively, melt it in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring after each interval.
Remove the melted chocolate and butter mixture from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until well combined. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Let the mixture cool slightly, then add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. The batter should thicken as you add the eggs.
Sift in the cocoa powder and add the salt, folding gently with a spatula until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22β25 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft. A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
Let the torte cool in the pan for 10β15 minutes, then run a knife around the edges to loosen it before removing the springform ring. Allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
Dust the cooled torte with powdered sugar, if using, and serve with whipped cream or fresh berries for an extra treat. Enjoy!
