Ingredients

Scale

Core Ingredients

  • 6 oz (170g) High-Quality Dark Chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
  • 1/2 cup (113g) Unsalted Butter
  • 3/4 cup (150g) Granulated Sugar
  • 4 Large Eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • Pinch of Salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients and Equipment: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease or line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper. Chop the chocolate into small, even pieces to ensure smooth melting.
  2. Melt the Chocolate and Butter: Gently melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
  3. Whisk the Eggs and Sugar: In a separate bowl, vigorously whisk the large eggs with granulated sugar until the mixture is pale, thick, and slightly fluffy. This helps provide the cake’s structure and a light texture.
  4. Combine Chocolate with the Egg Mixture: Slowly fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, ensuring not to deflate it to preserve the airy quality of the batter.
  5. Add Flavorings: Mix in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to intensify the depth of flavor, blending gently yet thoroughly to maintain the batter’s consistency.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for about 25 minutes, until the edges are set but the center remains slightly soft to the touch, ensuring perfect fudginess.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. This step enhances the texture and makes slicing neater.

Notes

  • Use High-Quality Chocolate: The quality of chocolate determines the cake’s flavor, so choose the best you can find.
  • Don’t Overbake: Keep a close eye on the cake during baking; the center should be slightly jiggly to avoid dryness.
  • Whisk Eggs Well: Properly whipped eggs trap air, ensuring a light yet dense cake texture.
  • Cool Before Cutting: Cooling helps the cake set and allows for cleaner, more attractive slices.
  • Serve at Room Temperature: Bring the cake out of the fridge before serving to enhance texture and flavor.
