Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup dark chocolate, chopped (about 170g) Use high-quality dark chocolate for best flavor.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick or 115g)
  • 3/4 cup sugar (150g)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder (50g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the chocolate and butter together over low heat until smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar until well combined.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition and then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Sift the cocoa powder and salt into the mixture, and gently fold until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cake is set and has a slightly crusty top.
  2. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting it onto a plate.
Serving
  1. Serve plain, or dust with powdered sugar, and enjoy with fresh berries or whipped cream.

Notes

Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing for neater slices. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or in the fridge for about a week.
