Ingredients

Servings

• 200 gram Dark chocolate
• 150 gram Unsalted butter
• 150 gram Granulated sugar
• 4 unit Eggs
• 2 tablespoon Cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
2. In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together over a pot of simmering water. Stir until smooth, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
4. Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring constantly until smooth.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
7. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once cooled, refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving.
9. Serve slices of the flourless chocolate cake with a dusting of cocoa powder or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
