Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Spray a 9-inch nonstick springform pan with cooking spray. Line the bottom with a circle of parchment paper and spray the top of the paper as well.
- In a double boiler or heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pot of boiling water, melt the chopped chocolate and cubed butter. Stir gently to avoid burning, then set aside to cool for a few minutes.
Mixing
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, use the whisk attachment to beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs together on medium-high speed until fluffy (about 8 to 10 minutes).
- With the mixer on low, gradually add the cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and kosher salt. Slowly drizzle in the cooled chocolate mixture, mixing until just combined.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Gently tap the pan on the counter a couple of times to release any trapped air bubbles.
- Bake for approximately 50 minutes or until the top is just set. The center should be a bit wobbly but not liquid.
Serving
- Allow the cake to cool completely before chilling in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or ideally overnight.
- When ready to serve, carefully remove the cake from the pan and place it on a serving platter. Sprinkle the top with sifted powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.

Notes
This cake is perfect on its own but can be paired with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. A drizzle of chocolate sauce or a sprinkling of sea salt adds a delightful contrast. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to a week. If freezing, wrap slices in plastic wrap and place in an airtight container.
