Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Cover the bottom of the pan with a round of parchment, then butter the parchment and dust the parchment and sides of the pan with cocoa powder. Knock out the excess and set aside.
- Combine the chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water. Melt them together, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Remove from the heat and reserve.
- Briefly whisk together the sugar and eggs in a bowl. Pour the melted chocolate into the egg mixture and stir to combine.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and wrap the bottom tightly with aluminium foil. Place the pan inside a bigger baking pan, then add hot water to the larger pan, making sure it comes at least halfway up the side of the springform pan.
- Bake the cake in its water bath until set in the center, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Run a knife or offset spatula around the pan edge to loosen the cake from the pan. Sift cocoa powder over the top of the cake and serve.
