Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a cake pan.
  2. Melt the chocolate and butter together in the microwave or a double boiler.
  3. Once melted, whisk in the sugar while the mixture is still warm.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until glossy.
  5. Sprinkle in the pinch of salt and mix well.
  6. Pour the batter into the greased pan and bake for about 25 minutes, until the top is puffy.
