- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan.
- Melt the chocolate: Break the dark chocolate into pieces and melt it along with the butter in a double boiler (or in the microwave in 30-second bursts). Stir until smooth and set aside to cool.
- Beat the eggs and sugar: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until light and frothy. Add the vanilla extract and continue whisking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In another bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together.
- Combine the mixtures: Gradually add the melted chocolate to the egg mixture, stirring gently to combine. Then slowly fold in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until everything is well incorporated.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake to keep the cake soft and moist.
- Cool and serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar and enjoy!
This cake is perfect for serving with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
