Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan.

Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir until smooth and combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy.

Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
-
Sift in the flour and cocoa powder, then fold gently until just combined.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
-
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a chilled bowl, whip the whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until stiff peaks form.

Spread the whipped cream over the cooled cake, creating a smooth and even layer.

Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to set.
