Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a round cake pan with parchment paper.

Melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until pale and fluffy.
-
Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, whisking continuously.

Sift in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the batter until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve the gateau au chocolat dusted with cocoa powder or powdered sugar, if desired.
