For an extra depth of flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher. Ensure the water in the double boiler remains at a simmer, not a boil, to prevent the chocolate from seizing. Chilling the cake thoroughly is crucial for achieving the desired firm texture. Do not rush this step! Serve with a dusting of cocoa powder or a dollop of whipped cream for an elegant presentation.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch cake pan with vegetable oil. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepCombine chocolate, butter, and sugar in a double boiler over simmering water. Cook, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula, until melted and smooth. (Cook time: approximately 5 minutes)
03
StepPour the chocolate mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on low speed until cooled. (Cooling time: approximately 5 minutes). Increase speed to medium; beat in eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Add water and vanilla extract; beat on low speed until just blended. Pour into the prepared pan.
04
StepPlace the cake pan inside a larger baking dish. Pour enough hot water into the baking dish to come halfway up the sides of the cake pan, creating a water bath.
05
StepBake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. (Bake time: approximately 1 hour). Allow the cake to cool in the water bath. (Cooling time: approximately 1 hour). Transfer to the refrigerator; chill until firm, preferably overnight (8 hours minimum).
