  2. Add the granulated sugar to the warm chocolate mixture and stir vigorously. Pour in the eggs one at a time, mixing very well after each addition until the batter thickens slightly.
  3. Sprinkle the cocoa powder, flour, and salt directly into the bowl. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula just until no streaks remain.
