Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 oz Semi sweet or dark chocolate, chopped Use good quality chips or chocolate.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar Can reduce slightly for a darker cake.
  • 1/3 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 large Eggs Room temperature if possible.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp Salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350F. Grease an 8 inch cake pan and line the bottom with parchment.
  2. Melt butter and chocolate together either in the microwave in short bursts or over a pot of simmering water until smooth.
  3. Whisk in sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla while the mixture is still warm.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, whisking until the batter looks glossy and thicker, resembling chocolate pudding batter.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the edges look set and the center has a slight jiggle, about 20 to 28 minutes.
  6. Cool the cake in the pan for at least 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edge and carefully flip it out.
  7. Slice with a sharp knife, wiping between cuts for clean, dramatic slices.

Notes

This cake can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days, in the fridge for up to 5 days, or frozen individually for later use. Serve topped with powdered sugar, berries, whipped cream, or ice cream for added flair.
