Step 1:

Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 20 cm (8-inch) round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2:

Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3:

Whisk in the sugar, then add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.

Step 4:

Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.

Step 5:

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 6:

Bake for 25 30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is just slightly wobbly.

Step 7:

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge and invert onto a serving plate. Peel off the parchment paper.

Step 8:

Dust with cocoa powder or powdered sugar before serving, and garnish with fresh berries or whipped cream if desired.
