Ingredients
- 4 ounces unsalted butter
- 4 ounces high-quality chocolate (bittersweet or semisweet)
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
Directions
-
Melt the Chocolate and Butter: Start by breaking the chocolate into small pieces and placing it in a heatproof bowl along with the unsalted butter. Set the bowl over a double boiler—this is a pan filled with simmering water, with the bowl placed on top without touching the water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate and butter are nearly melted. Remove the bowl from the heat and continue stirring until the mixture is completely smooth and fully melted.
-
-
Prepare the Eggs: In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them gently. Place this bowl over the double boiler, ensuring it’s not touching the hot water below. Whisk the eggs continuously until they feel warm to the touch. This gentle heating helps to prepare the eggs for whipping.
-
Whip the Eggs: Using an electric mixer, beat the warmed eggs until they triple in volume and become light and fluffy. This process will introduce air into the eggs, giving your cake its light, airy texture.
-
Combine with Chocolate: Gently fold the whipped eggs into the chocolate mixture. Be careful not to deflate the eggs; use a spatula and fold the mixture carefully until fully combined.
-
Bake the Cake: Pour the chocolate batter into a 6-inch cake pan that has been lightly greased or lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12 minutes. The cake should have a slightly jiggly center but be set around the edges.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. The result will be a rich, gooey chocolate cake that’s perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.
