In a medium bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 6 oz of chocolate and butter; microwave until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together sugars, eggs, and vanilla until smooth; add melted chocolate mixture and stir.
Fold in dry ingredients until just combined; avoid overmixing.
