Scale
- 8 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch round baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the dark chocolate and butter together until smooth, stirring frequently.
- Remove from heat and whisk in granulated sugar until combined. Beat in eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until the batter is shiny.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.

Notes
- For an extra depth of flavor, consider adding a pinch of espresso powder or folding in some chopped nuts.
- Serve with fresh berries or a dusting of powdered sugar for added elegance.
