Chocolate Fudge Cake

Chocolate Fudge Cake

200g (14 tbsp) butter

200g (7 oz) chocolate (I used half 50%, half 70%), chopped into small chunks

225g (1 cup) caster sugar

5 large eggs, lightly beaten

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp salt

15g (1 tbsp) flour

Powdered sugar/vanilla cream/whipped cream, to serve

1) Preheat oven to 180C / 350F. Line a 23 cm / 9 inch cake pan with parchment paper.

2) In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once it melts, add chocolate, cover and let sit for 2 minutes. The chocolate will be melted. Stir with a wooden spoon until completely smooth. Cool slightly.

3) Stir in the sugar, eggs, salt and vanilla extract. Mix until combined. Stir in the flour and mix just until incorporated.

4) Pour the batter into the baking pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool on a wire rack and then transfer to the fridge. Refrigerate overnight.

5) Serve with some vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or dust with confectioner's sugar.
