Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C and butter a 22 cm round tin, lining the base with baking paper.
  2. Melt the chocolate and butter in a bain-marie, then leave to cool slightly.
  3. Whisk the eggs with the sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
  4. Fold in the melted chocolate, then the sifted flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
  5. Add the milk and mix until you have a smooth, glossy batter.
  6. Pour into the tin and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the centre is just firm.
  7. Leave to cool in the tin, then turn out and decorate with whipped cream or chocolate shavings.

Variations and tips

Gluten-free version. Replace the flour with 100 g of ground almonds and add a little milk if the batter seems too thick.
