Ingredients
Scale
8 oz dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs (room temperature)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with nonstick spray or butter, and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together until smooth and glossy. Stir occasionally.
In a separate bowl, whisk together granulated sugar and eggs until light and frothy.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture while whisking continuously. Add cocoa powder and vanilla extract, stirring until fully combined.
Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and bake for about 25 minutes. The edges should be set while the center remains slightly gooey.
Let the cake cool in the pan for about ten minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack. Serve warm or cooled with whipped cream or fresh berries.
