Step 1
Heat oven to 450°F. Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet inside to preheat, ~3 minutes.
Step 2
Melt butter and chopped chocolate together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second pulses, stirring between, until smooth.
Step 3
Whisk sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the chocolate mixture until combined.
Step 4
Whisk in eggs and vanilla until the batter is glossy and smooth, ~45 seconds.
Step 5
Carefully pour batter into the hot skillet. Bake until edges look set but center still jiggles slightly, 10–12 minutes.
Step 6
Let cool in the skillet for 2 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream.
