  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a standard pie dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until pale and airy.
  3. Add the eggs to the mixture and mix until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Add cocoa powder, salt, and flour, stirring gently until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pie dish and smooth the top.
  6. Bake in the oven until the top is set and crackly, but the center remains soft.
  7. Remove from oven when the middle still jiggles slightly, allowing it to cool before serving.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality cocoa powder and avoid overbaking to keep the center gooey. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor. Dust with powdered sugar or fresh berries for decoration.
