Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz plain milk chocolate bars
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp fine salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment. Melt the chocolate and butter together until smooth, then cool 5 minutes.
  2. Whisk sugar, eggs, vanilla, and milk until thick and pale. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture.
  3. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into the bowl and fold until just combined.
  4. Scrape batter into the prepared pan and bake 32 to 36 minutes until the top springs back and a toothpick has moist crumbs. Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
  5. Dust with powdered sugar, slice, and serve at room temperature.

Notes

The cake keeps well and becomes more fudgy after a day wrapped at room temperature or in the fridge. If you use dark chocolate bars, reduce the sugar by 2 tablespoons to keep the sweetness in balance.
