Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350F. Grease an 8-inch cake pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang for easy cake removal.
In a microwave or a small saucepan, melt the chocolate and butter together, stirring until they are fully combined.
Add in the granulated sweetener, vanilla extract, and espresso powder if you're using them. Mix well.
Incorporate the eggs one at a time, gently beating them into the batter until smooth. Gradually add the cocoa powder, mixing until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a light crust forms on the top.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the cake out or carefully flip it onto a plate. Frost as desired and enjoy.
