Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate

  • 8 oz high-quality dark chocolate

Butter

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter

Sugar

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

Eggs

  • 4 large eggs

Flour

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Cocoa Powder

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Vanilla Extract

  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Salt

  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a square baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Melt the Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and butter. Melt them together over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Mix the Sugar and Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until the mixture is pale and fluffy. This step introduces air into the batter, contributing to a light texture.
  4. Combine the Mixtures: Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring gently to combine. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
  6. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Chill the Cake: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly.

Notes

  • Use Quality Ingredients: High-quality chocolate and pure vanilla extract make a significant difference in flavor.
  • Don’t Overmix: Gently fold in the dry ingredients to maintain a fudgy texture.
  • Let It Chill: Chilling the cake allows the flavors to meld and enhances the fudginess.
  • Use a Hot Knife: For clean slices, dip your knife in hot water before cutting the cake.
  • Serve Cold: Enjoy the cake chilled for the best taste and texture experience.
