Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g unsalted butter
- 200 g dark chocolate
- 200 g caster sugar
- 100 g brown sugar
- 250 ml hot water
- 150 g plain flour
- 75 g self-raising flour
- 50 g cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease and line a 20cm (8-inch) round cake tin with baking paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter, dark chocolate, caster sugar, and brown sugar together over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth.
Once melted, remove the saucepan from heat and pour in the hot water. Stir gently to combine and then let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the plain flour, self-raising flour, and cocoa powder.
Add the slightly cooled chocolate mixture to the dry ingredients and stir gently until well combined.
Whisk the eggs and vanilla extract together in a small bowl, then add them to the cake batter. Mix until just incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 75-90 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
