Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a round 9-inch cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a double boiler or microwave, melt the chopped chocolate and butter together, stirring until rich and smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and mix in the granulated sugar and cocoa powder until well blended.
  4. Crack in the eggs one at a time, stirring after each addition until fully incorporated.
  5. Add the vanilla extract and mix until the batter is smooth.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Transfer the cake to the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly soft.
  8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Dust the top with powdered sugar and serve with whipped cream, if desired.
