Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round baking pan with parchment paper.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together until smooth.
Whisk together the eggs and coconut sugar until slightly frothy and pale yellow.
Gradually combine the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar blend, stirring continuously.
Sift in the cocoa powder, stirring gently to combine until the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
