Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 200g Good Quality Dark Chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
  • 150g Unsalted Butter
  • 200g Granulated Sugar
  • 4 Large Eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • Pinch of Salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal. Gather all your ingredients so they’re ready for smooth assembly.
  2. Melt the Chocolate and Butter: Gently melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together using a double boiler or microwave, stirring frequently until smooth and completely combined without lumps.
  3. Combine Sugar and Eggs: In a separate bowl, vigorously whisk the granulated sugar and eggs until the mixture becomes pale and slightly fluffy. This step incorporates air, helping to lighten the texture of the cake.
  4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar blend. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, mixing just enough to combine everything evenly without deflating.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly wobbly. Be careful not to overbake to maintain fudginess.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before removing it. For best results, chill the cake for a few hours or overnight to enhance its dense, moist texture and make slicing easier.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overbake; remove the cake while the center is still slightly soft to keep it fudgy.
  • Use room temperature eggs to ensure smooth mixing and better volume.
  • Refrigerate the cake for a few hours or overnight to achieve a denser and more indulgent texture.
  • Properly grease and line the pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and keep the cake’s surface delicate.
