Ingredients

  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup baking cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line (with parchment paper), grease and flour a 7-inch cake tin (or in my case a 8x4-inch loaf pan).
  2. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Remove from the heat and stir in the rest of the ingredients. Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin and bake for 20-30 minutes - it should be set around the edges but still gooey in the middle.
  3. Let the cake cool in its tin for about 20 minutes, then run a blunt knife around the inside edge of the tin to loosen it. Turn out onto a wire rack, dust with icing sugar and serve warm.
