Add the egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.Add the cooled chocolate and mix until combined. Mix in the vanilla.In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites and salt to stiff peaks. Gently fold about 1 cup of the whipped whites into the chocolate mixture.

Do not overbake.Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Once it has cooled, use a thin knife to loosen the cake from the sides of the pan.
