What you'll need:
- 150 g dark chocolate (I used 85% cocoa chocolate)
- 125 g butter (unsalted)
- 250 g raw/brown sugar
- 6 eggs
- 100 g flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- whipped cream (whip 200 ml of whipping cream with 1 tbsp of white sugar)
How to do it:
Melt the butter with the chocolate in a water bath (banho-maria in Portuguese; just put the chocolate and butter inside a small pan and put this one inside a bigger pain containing hot/boiling water).
Mix the egg yolks with the sugar until you obtain a cream. Add the melted chocolate + butter mixture, then the flour and the baking powder and mix well. Whip the egg whites until they are firm (claras em castelo) and in the mixture. Pour into a baking pan (previously covered with oil and a bit of flour) and bake in the oven at 180°C (350°F) until done (~40 min).
Wait until cold, remove from the pan and pour the whipped cream over the cake, if desired.
