8 oz (225 g) dark chocolate, coarsely chopped

3/4 cup (180 ml) unsalted butter, cut into cubes

5 eggs

1 cup (250 ml) brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) salt

1/4 cup (60 ml) unbleached all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon (15 ml) cocoa powder

With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Butter a 20-cm (8-inch) springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

In a bowl, over a double boiler or in the microwave oven, melt the chocolate with the butter. Combine thoroughly. Let cool.

In another bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, and salt with a whisk until smooth. Stir in the flour and chocolate mixture.

Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out with a few lumps and not completely clean. The centre of the cake should not however be trembling. Let cool in the pan for at least 3 hours.

Remove from the pan and place the cake on a serving platter. With a fine sieve, dust with the cocoa powder. Delicious as is or with whipped cream.
