- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan, dusting it with cocoa powder.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate and butter. Heat in 30-second intervals until smooth, then let it cool slightly.
- Beat egg whites in a clean mixing bowl until medium stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
- Whisk egg yolks into the cooled chocolate mixture, followed by vanilla extract, salt, and cocoa powder.
- Fold in one-third of the beaten egg whites gently, then gradually add the remaining whites.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, checking for doneness when edges pull away from the sides.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
