- ½ pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon espresso powder (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions

- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together for 5 to 10 minutes until the mixture is pale and thick.

- Sift together the cocoa powder, flour, espresso powder (if using), and salt. Gently fold this dry mixture into the egg mixture until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Place this dish in a larger pan and pour hot water around it, creating a water bath.
