Chocolate Cake Ingredients 112g Chocolate 225g Butter 125g All Purpose flour (Self raising is fine as well) 210g White Sugar 4 Eggs 1tsp Vanilla Extract Chocolate chips/Chunks Directions 1. Preheat oven to 165C. 2. In a pan pour boiling water, place another pan of similar size on top (making sure the bottom of it doesn't touch the water). Combine chocolate and butter, and stir till melted and smooth. Remove and set aside. 3. Sift flour and sugar together into a large bowl. With a mixer on low speed, beat 4 eggs one-by-one into flour/sugar. Stir in the chocolate mixture. Add vanilla extract and chocolate chips. 4. Fill cake tin, make sure you don't fill it to the top, the cake has to rise. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 - 30 mins. Top of the cake should be shiny but should give slightly when touched. You can add nuts to this if you want, if you feel there is too much sugar, lessen it slightly, add mre vanilla extract if you want.
