Instructions

1 Begin by assembling all your ingredients. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F.
Lightly grease a 10-inch round cake pan and set it aside.
2 In a small saucepan, mix sugar, water, and salt over medium heat. Stir until the
sugar and salt are fully dissolved, then remove from heat and set aside.
3 In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the bittersweet chocolate in 15-second bursts,
stirring after each interval, until fully melted and smooth, usually taking 1 to
3 minutes. Transfer the melted chocolate to the bowl of an electric mixer.
4 Cut the butter into chunks and beat it into the chocolate, adding one piece at a
time until the mixture is smooth.
5 Gradually mix in the hot sugar water, followed by the eggs, adding each egg one
at a time and beating well after each addition.
6 Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Place this pan into a larger pan and
pour boiling water into the larger pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of
the cake pan.
7 Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes. The center of the cake will
still be slightly wet. Allow the cake to chill in the refrigerator for 8 hours
or overnight to set completely.
8 To release the cake, briefly dip the bottom of the pan in hot water, then invert
it onto a serving plate.
9 Serve and enjoy!
