135g salted butter
55g cocoa powder
350g granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
110g unbleached flour
3 eggs
1/8 tsp salt
Preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease a deep 8-inch cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper.
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Remove from the heat, cool slightly, 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 very gooey in the middle.
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 20 minutes, then run a blunt knife around the inside edge of the tin to loosen it, then turn it out on to a wire rack.
Serve warm or cold. Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar.
