Ingredients
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark chocolate, chopped)
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
For Topping (optional):
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Fresh berries or whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Melt the Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir until smooth, then remove from heat.
- Mix in the Sugar and Vanilla: Stir in the granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add the Eggs: Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Add the Cocoa Powder: Sift in the cocoa powder and stir until just combined.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cake has set but is still slightly soft in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with fresh berries or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
