Equipment

Mixing bowls
Electric mixer or whisk
Spatula
Cake pan (20-22 cm)
Oven

Ingredients

200 g semi-sweet chocolate
150 g butter
3 eggs
200 g sugar
150 g all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup warm milk

Instructions

Melt the chocolate and butter together in a double boiler or microwave, stirring every 30 seconds; set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy for about 3-4 minutes.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped eggs and sugar; add the vanilla essence and warm milk, and mix gently.
Sift the flour and salt into the wet mixture; fold them in gently to maintain air bubbles.
Pour the batter into a greased and floured 20-22 cm round cake pan and smooth the top.
Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for 35-40 minutes; check with a toothpick for doneness.

Notes

This cake is versatile; serve it plain, with powdered sugar, or topped with whipped cream.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, wrap slices individually and freeze for up to a month.
For extra richness, brush with a thin layer of simple syrup infused with coffee.
Tips: Use room-temperature eggs for better incorporation, avoid overmixing the batter, and let the cake cool completely before slicing for cleaner cuts.
