Ingredients
- 12 ounces bittersweet baking chocolate chopped
- 3/4 cup butter
- 6 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- powdered sugar optional
- cocoa powder optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 F. Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper, and spray parchment paper with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a heavy saucepan over low heat, begin to melt butter.
- When butter is partially melted, add chocolate.
- Stir regularly until chocolate and butter are melted and combined.
- Set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt on low for 30 seconds.
- Increase speed to medium-high if using a stand mixer (see the note below if using a hand mixer), and continue beating for 7-8 minutes, or until batter is thick and pale yellow. This step is key, so please don't cut the mixing time short.
- Stream in cooled chocolate mixture until combined. Batter should look like thick chocolate mousse at this point.
- Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Bake for about 70 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely on a wire cooling rack.
- Gently remove the springform pan ring.
- Dust with cocoa powder or powdered sugar, if desired.
Notes
- Chocolate: You can use bars of baking chocolate or use good-quality bittersweet chocolate chips.
- Butter: I use salted butter. If you prefer to use unsalted butter, increase the salt to 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/4 teaspoon of table salt.
- Kosher salt: Or a pinch of table salt.
- Mixing: If you're using a hand mixer instead of a stand mixer, you'll need to mix the egg mixture on high. You'll also need to add additional mixing time to get the egg mixture thick enough as a hand mixer isn't as powerful as a stand mixer.
