Method

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a springform pan and dust with cocoa powder.
Melt chocolate and butter together in a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.
Whisk in sugar until combined, then whisk in eggs one at a time.
Sift in cocoa powder and salt, folding until just combined and no dry streaks remain.
Pour into the prepared pan and bake 30–35 minutes, until a thin crust forms on top but the center still jiggles slightly.
Cool completely in the pan before releasing. Dust with powdered sugar to serve.
