Ingredients
  

  • 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate

  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour

  • Electric mixer
  • 8X8 baking pan, lightly greased or lined with parchment paper.

  2. Preheat the oven to 375℉ when using a metal pan or 350℉ if using a glass pan
  3. Add the eggs, vanilla and salt to the bowl of a standing mixer. Beat together until it is very thick and light in color. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating at medium-high speed until the eggs reach the consistency of soft peak whip cream- about 8-10 minutes in total. The trail of the eggs will remain on the surface for 15 seconds when you lift the beater.
