- 30 g cocoa powder
- 225 g dark chocolate
- 4 eggs
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 200 g sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Step 2
Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Stir until smooth.
Step 3
Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk in the sugar until well combined.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Step 5
Sift the cocoa powder into the mixture and add the vanilla extract and salt. Stir until fully incorporated.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top has formed a thin crust and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 8
Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and let cool completely.
