Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 oz (170g) good quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease an 8-inch cake pan. Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces for even melting. Measure out the butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt to stay organized.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: Using a double boiler or microwave, gently melt the chocolate and butter together. Stir frequently until the mixture is smooth, glossy, and lump-free.
  3. Whisk in Sugar and Eggs: Remove the chocolate mixture from heat. Stir in the sugar until well combined. Then, beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  4. Pour Batter and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the edges are set and starting to pull away from the pan but the center remains slightly moist.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool completely in the pan before carefully removing it. For the best texture and flavor, refrigerate for a few hours or overnight before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Do not overbake; the center should remain slightly gooey for perfect fudginess.
  • Use room temperature eggs for smoother mixing and texture.
  • Line the cake pan with parchment paper for easier removal.
  • Chill the cake before serving to intensify flavors and improve slicing.
