1

Preheat to 360°F and butter an 8-inch cake pan, lining it with parchment paper.

2

Chop chocolate and butter, then place in a bowl over a pot of simmering water and melt, stirring occasionally.

3

Sift in the cocoa powder, whisk in the sugar, salt, espresso powder, and eggs; mix very well. You may add a teaspoon of vanilla at this point, but it is optional.

4

Pour into the prepared pan and bake at 350°F for 22-25 minutes. The top will have a crust and the edges will have risen and set.

5

Allow to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then run a knife along the edge and invert onto a cake plate. Allow to cool, then dust with powdered sugar, cocoa, or cover in ganache. Top with berries and enjoy!
