• 250g granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 150g all-purpose flour
• 50g cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a round cake pan.
2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, melt the chopped chocolate and butter together over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Once melted, remove from heat, and whisk in the sugar. Allow to cool slightly, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, chili powder, and salt.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.
