Ingredients:

• 200g dark chocolate, finely chopped
• 100g unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until light and foamy in texture.
3. Add the cooled chocolate mixture to the egg and sugar mixture and whisk well.
4. Add the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and vanilla extract to the mixture and stir until everything is well combined.

8. Refrigerate the log for at least 3 hours or until it is firm enough to slice.
