Ingredients
  

  • 200 g dark chocolate good baking bar
  • 100 g butter plus a little extra for greasing
  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • 150 g granulated sugar
  • 100 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet baking powder about 2 tsp
  • a pinch salt

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and butter an 8-inch round cake pan.
  2. Chop the dark chocolate and combine it with the butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar for 2-3 minutes until pale and frothy.
  4. Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and sift the flour, baking powder, and salt over it. Gently fold until just combined.

Notes

A few useful tips: Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for better whipping. Don't overmix after adding the flour to keep your cake tender. This cake stays moist at room temperature for 3 days, and it freezes well for up to 2 months. Try variations like adding orange zest for a citrus twist or swirling in peanut butter for added flavor. Dust with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish!
