Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 6 oz (170g) quality dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and let the butter and eggs come to room temperature to ensure a smooth, even batter.
  2. Melt the Chocolate and Butter: Gently melt the dark chocolate and butter together over low heat or in a double boiler, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
  3. Whisk Eggs and Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick, pale, and slightly fluffy to incorporate air and add lift to the cake.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: Slowly fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, stirring carefully to maintain the airiness and ensure full incorporation.
  5. Add Flavorings: Mix in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to deepen the chocolate flavor and balance the sweetness.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into a lined or greased cake pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, until edges are set but the center remains slightly soft for a fudgy texture.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before removing to let it set firmly, ensuring perfect slices every time.

Notes

  • Use quality chocolate: Choose dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for the richest flavor.
  • Don’t overbake: Slightly underbaked centers deliver the ideal fudgy finish.
  • Room temperature eggs: They mix better and produce a smoother batter and better rise.
  • Grease pan thoroughly: Prevents sticking and keeps the delicate cake intact when unmolding.
  • Rest before slicing: Cooling stabilizes the texture and enhances flavor.
