Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams bittersweet chocolate
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Grease the parchment as well.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the bittersweet chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until smooth and fully combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is pale and frothy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually fold the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring gently until fully incorporated.
Add the salt and mix until combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a thin crust has formed on top. The center will still be slightly soft but will set as it cools.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges to release it. Invert the cake onto a serving plate and peel off the parchment paper.
Once completely cooled, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine mesh sieve.
Slice and serve with whipped cream or fresh berries, if desired. Enjoy!
