Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips preferably 70% cocoa
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cut into pieces
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
For the Topping
  • 1 cup whipped cream for serving
  • 1/4 cup chocolate shavings for garnish

Method
 

Prepare the Cake Batter
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the dark chocolate chips and butter. Stir until melted and smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and whisk in the sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
  5. Sift in the cocoa powder and mix until the batter is smooth and glossy.
Bake the Cake
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly soft.
  3. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve
  1. Once cooled, slice the cake and serve with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
  2. Garnish with chocolate shavings if desired.
