  1. Cut circle of parchment paper to fit 8-inch round cake pan.

  3. Combine chocolate and butter in top of double boiler.
  4. Set over gently simmering water and stir until melted and smooth.
  5. Remove from heat.
  6. Transfer to bowl and set aside.
  7. Wipe out top of double boiler (you'll be using it again).
  8. Combine eggs and sugar in top of double boiler.
  9. Set over gently simmering water and whisk constantly until sugar is dissolved and mixture darkens and is barely warm to the touch.
  10. Remove from heat.
  11. Beat at high speed with electric mixer until eggs have tripled in volume and are consistency of lightly whipped cream, about 5 to 10 minutes.
  12. Gently fold in flour.
  13. Carefully stir 1/3 of egg mixture into chocolate to loosen, then fold chocolate into remaining egg mixture until thoroughly combined.

  15. Bake until cake is soft in center but crusty on top, about 15 minutes.
