Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare the Cake Pan
Rub butter all over the inside of a 9 inch cake pan making sure to get all the way up the sides.
Now add about 1 tablespoon of flour to the buttered pan and gently shake the flour around the pan so it sticks to the butter.
Tap out any excess flour.
Preparing the Chocolate
Chop the chocolate
1 ½ cups Semi sweet chocolate (chopped)
Add chopped chocolate to a double boiler. This is a heat proof bowl that sits snug over a medium pot of simmering water. Make sure the water does not touch the bowl.
Over medium heat, allow the chocolate to melt while stirring constantly.
Once the chocolate has melted, remove from the heat and stir in your butter.
7 tablespoon unsalted butter
Continue stirring the butter until the butter is fully melted and the chocolate looks glossy.
Set aside and allow to cool.
Preparing the other ingredients
Separate your eggs adding the yolks to own medium bowl and the whites to another medium bowl.
4 eggs
Grab your bowl of egg yolks and add the sugar.
¾ cup Granulated sugar
With a hand mixer mix on medium speed until pale yellow then set aside.
Now with the same hand mixer (make sure to clean attachment) whip the egg whites until it thicken and becomes frothy. You can mix up to the point of soft egg white peaks.
Set aside.
Grab your cooled melted chocolate and mix that into your whipped egg yolks along with your vanilla until combined.
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Add the flour and salt to your chocolate and egg yolk mixture and mix until combined.
7 tablespoon All purpose flour, ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
Bake for 25-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into about 3 inches from the outside of the pan comes out clean.
