Prepare The Pan and Chocolate-Butter Mixture

  • Sprinkle 1/2 tsp of salt into the batter.
  • Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.

Add Egg Yolks And Vanilla Essence

  • In a separate mixing bowl, crack 3 large eggs and remove the yolks from the whites.
  • Then, pour the egg yolks into the chocolate batter.
  • Add 1 tsp of vanilla essence to the mixture, then whisk all of them until well combined and set aside.

Beat Egg Whites and Sugar

Prepare The Chocolate Ganache

  • Place 100 grams of semi-sweet dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
