Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 cup salted butter

  • 1 3/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar

  • 9/16 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (scant 2/3 cup)

  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/4 tsp salt

For the Ganache:

  • 1/3 cup heavy cream

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line and lightly grease an 8-inch round or springform pan with parchment.

  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and 1 3/4 cups chocolate chips in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.

  3. Whisk in eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, salt, and cocoa powder until glossy and fully blended.

  4. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.

  5. Bake for 20–23 minutes or until just set with a slightly cracked surface. Cool completely.

  6. For ganache: Heat cream and butter until just simmering. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips until smooth.

  7. Pour ganache over the cooled cake, smoothing the top. Chill for at least 30 minutes to set.

  8. Slice and serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.

Notes

For a darker flavor, use bittersweet chocolate. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days. This cake is even better the next day.
