Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 4 large eggs

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate large bowl, combine the sugar, vanilla extract, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until smooth and creamy.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly gooey. The cake should have a cracked top.
7. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
8. Carefully transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
9. Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar and slice into wedges.
