Ingredients
8 oz /225 gm dark semi-sweet chocolate
2/3 cup (140 g) butter
1 cup (210 g) sugar
4 eggs
4 heaped tbsp all-purpose flour
4 tbsp unsweetened cocoa pdr.
1½ tsp baking pdr. or 1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla essence
4 tbsps sour cream
Ingredients for frosting
2/3 cup heavy cream or whipping cream
9 oz /260 gm semisweet chocolate
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 deg F or 180 deg C
- Line a circular 10 inch (25 cm) cake tin (3 inches tall) with grease proof or other non-stick paper and grease the tin. Please note that the cake will rise to 3 inches and collapse somewhat when cooled. It will be ideal to use 2 cake tins.
- Break the chocolate into small pieces and melt it with butter over hot water.
- Beat the eggs with sugar, mix with flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and vanilla extract.
- Slowly fold in the melted butter and chocolate and the sour cream.
- Bake at 350 degrees until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, approximately 40 to 50 minutes (if using 2 cake tins 20-30 minutes may be sufficient).
- Cool the cake completely. When it has obtained room temperature place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before removing the cake from the tin (the cake is sticky and difficult to cut when it is warm!)
- Remove the crusted surface on the top of the cake, and cut in half, horizontally.
Frosting
- Heat 2/3 cup of heavy cream or whipping cream in a sauce pan.
- Remove from heat, add 9 oz /260 gm of finely chopped dark semisweet chocolate, stir until smooth, and let it cool until in thickens.
- Use one 1/3 of the frosting between the two layers, 1/3 on top, and the rest around the cake. Put the cake into the fridge for one hour or more to harden the frosting.
This cake is best served at room temperature.
