Ingredients:

1/3 cup dark chocolate
72g
6 eggs
300g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
1/4 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
30g
1/2 cup dry cocoa powder
72g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven and prepare your pan:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Melt the chocolate:
- In a small heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate either in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, or over a double boiler until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Prepare the eggs:
- Separate the eggs into yolks and whites, placing the yolks in one bowl and the whites in another large mixing bowl.
4. Whip the egg yolks and sugar:
- Add the sugar to the bowl with the egg yolks. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium-high speed until the mixture is pale, thick, and slightly fluffy.
5. Combine dry ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder.
6. Fold in the chocolate and dry ingredients:
- Gradually mix the melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture until well combined.
- Gently fold in the sifted flour and cocoa powder mixture until just incorporated. Avoid over-mixing to keep the batter light.
7. Whip the egg whites:
- Clean your electric mixer beaters thoroughly. In the bowl with the egg whites, beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
8. Combine the mixtures:
- Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it.
- Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, being gentle to maintain the airiness of the batter.
9. Bake the cake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cake slightly rises and the center is set but still a bit soft and fudge-like. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
10. Cool the cake:
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Serve:
- Once cooled, you can dust the top with a bit of powdered sugar or cocoa powder for a decorative touch.
- Slice and enjoy on its own, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added decadence!

Tips:

- Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer and more intense flavor.

- Ensure your eggs are at room temperature to help achieve a smooth batter.

- Sift your dry ingredients to avoid lumps and ensure a fine, even texture.

- Carefully fold in the ingredients to maintain the airiness of the batter.

- Bake the cake just until set; overbaking can lead to a dry texture.

- Allow the cake to cool completely before removing it from the pan.

With these simple tips and the right ingredients, you can make a Chocolate Decadence Cake that's both sophisticated and delicious. Whether you're serving it at a dinner party or enjoying it as a special treat, this cake is bound to satisfy your chocolate cravings and impress your guests. Happy baking!
