1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Slightly rounded 1/4 teaspoon salt
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate (60% cacao), finely chopped
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup water
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate (60% cacao), finely chopped
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into bits
1 tablespoon light corn syrup

1
Preheat oven to 325u00b0F with rack in middle. Flip bottom of springform pan so lip is facing down, then lock in place. Butter bottom and side of pan, then dust bottom with flour, knocking out excess.

3
Melt chocolate with butter in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring. Remove from heat and whisk in eggs and water until smooth. Whisk into flour mixture, then whisk in sugar until smooth. Pour into pan and rap on counter to eliminate any air bubbles.
4

5
Cool cake in pan 20 minutes, then remove side of pan and cool completely, at least 1 hour.

Melt chocolate in a small metal bowl set over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Stir in butter and corn syrup. Cool slightly, then spread just over top of cooled cake.
