Ingredients

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus butter for greasing pan
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus flour for dusting
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
Pinch of salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour an 8- or 9-inch round baking pan.
Melt the 4 tablespoons butter and the chocolate together in the top of a double boiler. Stir until smooth. Mix the flour, salt and baking soda together.
Beat the egg and sugar together until the mixture is very light and falls in a ribbon when the beater is lifted. Stir in the melted butter and chocolate while they are still hot.
Stir in the flour mixture alternately with the milk. Stir in the vanilla.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake about 35 minutes, until the surface is slightly springy to the touch. Serve warm or cooled.
