- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease the baking pan.

- Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Gently fold in all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few fudgy crumbs.

Notes
Use good quality chocolate chips for the ganache and avoid overmixing to keep the cake fudgy. Add nuts or swirl in peanut butter for variations.
