Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 200g bittersweet chocolate (high-quality)
  • 200g unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (about 200g)
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper on the bottom and sides to ensure easy removal. Chop the bittersweet chocolate into small pieces for even melting.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: Gently melt the chocolate and unsalted butter together using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring constantly until the mixture is silky smooth and fully combined.
  3. Whisk Eggs and Sugar: In a separate bowl, vigorously whisk the eggs and sugar until the mixture becomes pale, fluffy, and slightly thickened, incorporating air that is essential for the cake’s structure.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture gently into the whipped eggs, taking care not to deflate the batter. Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to balance the flavors.
  5. Bake and Cool: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly pulling away from the pan while the center remains slightly jiggly. Allow the cake to cool completely before removing from the pan to preserve its moist, fudgy texture.

Notes

  • Use high-quality bittersweet chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overbake; a slightly underdone center ensures a fudgy cake.
  • Use eggs at room temperature to help them whip better and lighten the texture.
  • Ensure thorough lining of the pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • Cool the cake completely before slicing for clean and attractive servings.
