Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 7 oz (200g) high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
  • 6 tbsp (85g) unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt (a pinch)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan thoroughly with butter or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: Gently melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until fully smooth and glossy.
  3. Whisk Eggs and Sugar: In a separate bowl, vigorously whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is pale and slightly frothy, ensuring the right texture for the cake.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Slowly fold the melted chocolate and butter into the egg mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly to create a uniformly smooth batter without deflating the eggs.
  5. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The cake should set but remain slightly soft in the center for that signature fudgy texture.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before gently loosening the edges and transferring it to a serving plate. This resting step helps it develop its rich, luscious character.

Notes

  • Use quality chocolate: The taste and texture depend heavily on your chocolate choice, so pick a bar you love.
  • Don’t overbake: Slightly underbaking prevents dryness and keeps the center fudgy and smooth.
  • Room temperature eggs: Warm eggs blend better, resulting in a more even batter and rise.
  • Line your pan: Use parchment paper on the bottom for easy removal and perfect edges.
  • Cooling matters: Allow the cake to rest fully; this intensifies flavor and firms up the texture.
