Ingredients

225g Dark chocolate
Dark Chocolate (70% cocoa solids), broken into pieces
225g Butter
softened
3 Large eggs
plus 1 extra yolk
275g Caster sugar
100g Plain flour

Directions

The perfect ratio of chocolate to egg, combined with the water bath method of cooling, gives you a massive chocolate hit plus a deliciously gooey middle.

Steps

1 Done	Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Line a 28cm x 19cm deep cake tin.
2 Done	Put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and set over a pan of simmering water – make sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Leave until almost melted, then remove from the heat. Stir until completely melted.
3 Done	In a clean bowl, beat the eggs, yolk and sugar until foamy. Stir in the chocolate mixture until just evenly blended. Sift the flour and baking powder together. Stir into the chocolate mixture and pour into the tin. Bake for 35 mins or until the top is firm but the middle is soft.
4 Done	Half fill a roasting tin with cold water. Carefully put the cake tin in the water and leave to cool completely.
5 Done	Cut into 18 pieces and dust with icing sugar before serving.
