Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 200g high-quality dark chocolate
  • 150g unsalted butter
  • 200g granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients and Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9-inch round springform pan thoroughly to prevent sticking; this helps the cake keep its flawless shape.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: Gently melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
  3. Whisk Eggs and Sugar: In a separate bowl, whisk the large eggs and granulated sugar vigorously until the mixture is thick, pale, and has increased slightly in volume to add lightness.
  4. Combine All Ingredients: Slowly fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, stirring gently to keep the batter airy and uniform.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly soft, ensuring a fudgy texture.
  6. Cool and Release: Let the cake cool fully in the pan before carefully releasing the springform. Chill if you prefer a firmer slice or serve slightly warm for gooey decadence.

Notes

  • Choose bittersweet chocolate with a high cocoa content for the richest flavor.
  • Do not overbake; a slightly underbaked center keeps the perfect fudgy consistency.
  • Use room temperature eggs to help emulsify the batter smoothly and develop better texture.
  • Line your pan with parchment paper for easier cake removal.
  • Allow the cake to rest before slicing for cleaner cuts and enhanced flavor.
