Ingredients:

1 cup butter
220g
1 cup sugar
200g
2 tsp vanilla extract
8g
1/2 cup dark chocolate
120g
3 eggs
150g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1/3 cup dry cocoa powder
50g
1 tsp corn flour
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line the baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Chocolate: Melt the 1/2 cup of dark chocolate either in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until fully melted, or using a double boiler on the stovetop. Allow it to cool slightly.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the 1 cup of butter and 1 cup of sugar together using an electric mixer or whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add Vanilla and Eggs: Add the 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and the 3 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
5. Incorporate Melted Chocolate: Slowly pour in the melted dark chocolate and continue to mix until the chocolate is fully combined with the butter mixture.
6. Sift Dry Ingredients: Sift the 1 cup of self-raising flour, 1/3 cup of dry cocoa powder, and 1 teaspoon of corn flour together in a separate bowl.
7. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
8. Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
9. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
10. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice and serve as desired.

Tips:

- Use high-quality dark chocolate: Opt for a bar of dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content for a richer and more intense chocolate flavor.

- Room temperature ingredients: Ensure that your butter, eggs, and other ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. This helps in achieving a smoother batter and even baking.

- Sift your dry ingredients: Sift the self-raising flour, cocoa powder, and cornflour to avoid lumps and to ensure a light, airy texture.

- Don't overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until they are incorporated. Overmixing can lead to a dense and tough cake.

- Baking time: Every oven is different, so keep an eye on your cake as it bakes. It’s done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
