Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (about 9 oz)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Melt chocolate chips and butter in a heatproof bowl using the microwave or double boiler. Stir until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, beat eggs with an electric mixer for 5–6 minutes, until tripled in volume, pale, and foamy.
  4. Gently fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the whipped eggs in batches, being careful not to deflate the air.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is set and the center is slightly soft. Do not overbake.
  7. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • Add a splash of vanilla extract or pinch of salt for enhanced flavor.
  • Stir in espresso powder for deeper chocolate taste.
  • Dust with powdered sugar or top with berries before serving.
  • Use certified gluten-free chocolate if needed.
  • Let sit at room temperature before serving for best texture.
