- 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Melt butter and chocolate: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, salt, and vanilla.
