Steps for the chocolate cake preparation
First, roughly chop the chocolate and melt it in a bain-marie or microwave with the butter. Then let it cool.
Break the eggs and work them whole with the sugar until they are light and fluffy using the electric whisks. Incorporate the sifted flour with the baking powder. Scent with orange, add the salt, and finish with the chocolate melted with the butter.
Mix with the manual whisk and pour into a cake pan lined with parchment paper. Bake in a static oven at 350°F for about 40 minutes, still performing a toothpick test. Let it cool before removing from the cake pan and serving with powdered sugar.
Storage
You can store the cake for a few days under a glass dome.
