Prepare the Cake Batter:
Preheat the oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and baking powder.
In another bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate together. You can melt them in the microwave in 20-second intervals or over a double boiler.
Once melted, let the chocolate-butter mixture cool slightly before adding the milk. Stir to combine.
Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Bake the Cake:
Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once done, remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and Enjoy:
Once cooled, slice the cake and serve. Optionally, top with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of extra melted chocolate.
