Preparation

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8- or 9-inch round baking pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Butter parchment.
Step 2
Combine the butter and chocolate in a heat-safe bowl and set over a pan of hot water. Heat over medium fire, stirring until the mixture is melted. Remove bowl from heat and set aside.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs and egg yolks until frothy. At medium speed, beat in the sugar until creamy. Beat in the flour. Fold flour mixture into chocolate mixture with a rubber spatula until blended. Spread in the prepared pan. Bake the cake until set in the center, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool. Remove the cake from the pan and peel off parchment.
