When winter nights are chilly and windy, and it's dark early, no wonder we had a sudden craving for a Chocolate cake. Not just any one, but rich and moist. This recipe has proven to be the very best, especially that it only takes 35-40 minutes of your time, half of which is baking.
You can also cover it with icing, or whipped cream. Us, we just wanted The Cake in its cocoa purity!

100g cooking dark chocolate (block)
150g butter, room temperature
200g flour
3 eggs
1 generous teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons milk or buttermilk
150g sugar
Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celcius.
1) Break chocolate into cubes and put into a small saucepan. Put the saucepan onto a cooker on a very low setting. Electric cooker would be setting 1. Watch it at all times and help it melt by stirring very gently, to keep from burning. Gradually add butter by tablespoon portions. In the end, it must not be very loose and runny, so it's ok if butter does not dissolve completely and perfectly.
2) Beat in eggs one by one. Then add sugar, milk and stir.
3) Seive flour into a mixing bowl and add baking powder. Pour chocolate mixture into the flour, mixing al the time, until it's smooth.
4) Bake until cake is risen and toothpick comes out dry.
