Lovers' Chocolate Cake
eCook Alyson Gofton .
If you love chocolate then try this with a liqueur coffee, a port - and someone special.
Ingredients
275 grams Engergy Chocolate, roughly chopped 250 grams ;unsalted butter ;
6 eggs, at room temperature ;
2 cups brown sugar;
1 cup flour
Method
1. Melt the chocolate and butter in the top pan of a double boiler
over simmering water. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
2. In a clean bowl beat the eggs and sugar together until they are light
and fluffy. Fold the cooled chocolate and sifted flour into the egg mixture.
3. Pour into a well-greased, floured and lined 23cm square cake tin.
Bake at 180 degrees Celcius for 35 - 40 minutes.
The cake should still be moist in the middle.
Allow to cool completely on a cake rack before turning out.
4. Cut into small squares to serve and dust with icing sugar.
Makes a large number as it is rich and delicious.
Heart template
1. Take a piece of baking paper about 10cm square and fold it in half. Beginning in the fold at the top, with scissors cut out half a heart shape
so that when you open the paper out, you have an even shaped heart.
Place the heart shape in the centre of the square of cake,
decorate the top of the cake with Icing sugar.
Cook's tip Line the cake tin with baking paper that comes up the sides
so that you can pull on the baking paper to remove the cake from the tin.
