Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for the pan

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, plus more for dusting 

8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped 

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 

6 large eggs 

Powdered sugar, for dusting 

Cinnamon ice cream, for serving 

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Lightly butter the bottom and sides of a 10-inch springform pan. Dust the bottom and sides with the cocoa, shaking to remove excess.
  3. Combine the bittersweet chocolate and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until completely melted and smooth, about 1 minute. (Alternatively, melt in a small metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth). Let cool slightly. Whisk in the granulated sugar. Whisk in the eggs 1 at a time, whisking well after each addition. Sift the remaining 1 cup cocoa over the mixture and whisk until just combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until just barely set, around 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen and remove sides. Remove to a serving platter and let cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar. Serve with cinnamon ice cream.

I never review but this is an awesome recipe! I'm making a few to bring to Christmas parties. I sometimes divide the batter into 2- 6inch springform pans to share the wealth! It'll be taller but still approximately the same baking time. I've seen other reviews elsewhere which suggest making in a 9x13 to then cut into cubes and served as "bites". (would definitely line with parchment) Also, best tip was to check the center to register at 140 degrees for doneness. This is delish!!!
