Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8 or 9-inch round cake pan.
- Place the dark chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Melt them together in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until both are completely melted and combined. Alternatively, you can melt them together in a double boiler on the stove.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar with the melted chocolate and butter mixture. Mix until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, dry cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; avoid over-mixing.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake is completely cooled, you can dust the top with powdered sugar or cocoa powder for an elegant finish.
- Slice the cake and serve as desired. Enjoy your delicious Family Chocolate Cake with friends and family!
Tips:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
- Ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing for a smoother batter.

- If possible, use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients accurately.
