- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
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 medium saucepan, combine the chopped chocolate and butter. Heat over low heat, stirring until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Mix in sugar and eggs: Stir in the granulated sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add dry ingredients: Sift the cocoa powder and salt into the mixture, and fold gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly soft.
- Cool the cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
