Instructions
- Set up: Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line and oil an 8-inch round cake pan.
- Cake: In a microwaveable dish, melt butter and chocolate for one minute, stirring halfway through. Beat in vanilla, sugar, and salt. Eggs come next, then cocoa powder. Beat just until blended; do not overmix.

- To cool entirely, transfer cake onto a wire rack after letting it set in pan for ten minutes.
- Ganache: Heat cream in a microwave-safe dish for 30 seconds, stirring as required, while cake cools. Smoothly whisk in the chocolate.
- Glaze: To set, spread ganache over cooled cake and chill for a few hours.
- Slice and enjoy! Raspberries, whipped cream, ice cream, or powdered sugar are optional.
