Ingredients
•
3/4 cup white sugar
•
1/2 cup water
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
•
18 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate
•
1 cup unsalted butter
•
6 eggs
Directions
1
Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch round cake pan; set aside.
2
Combine sugar, water, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until completely dissolved; set aside.
3
Melt bittersweet chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, 1 to 3 minutes. Pour chocolate into the bowl of an electric mixer.
4
Cut butter into pieces; beat butter, one piece at a time, into chocolate until combined.
5
Beat in hot sugar water. Slowly beat in eggs, one at a time.
6
Pour batter into the prepared cake pan.
7
Have a pan larger than the cake pan ready; put the cake pan in the larger pan and fill the larger pan with boiling water halfway up the sides of the cake pan.
8
Bake cake in the water bath in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. The center will still look wet. Place cake in the refrigerator until thoroughly chilled, 8 hours to overnight.
9
To unmold, dip the bottom of the cake pan in hot water for 10 seconds and invert onto a serving plate.
