Ingredients

  • 12 cup chocolate, roughly chopped
  • 34 cup butter
  • 34 cup brown sugar
  • 1 12 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 12 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3 eggs, well beaten
  • 12 cup chocolate, chopped
  • 12 cup butter

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 180 C or 350 F (slightly less for fan assisted).
  • Grease 8 inch cake tin or pan.
  • Use your favourite chocolates.
  • Any good chocolate will bring yummy results!
  • In a bowl, beat butter till it's fluffy.
  • Beat in the brown sugar.
  • In seperate bowl, mix flour and baking powder.
  • Mix flour into butter mixture alternately with beaten eggs.
  • Pour mixture into cake tin or pan.
  • A little at a time, sprinkle chocoaltes on top, and press them carefully into the mixture, not too far near the bottom.
  • Bake for 40 minutes.
  • After cake has cooled, in a double boiler melt butter, add chocolates JUST UNTIL MELTED.
  • Spread onto cooled cake.
  • You can pick and mix, perhaps use milk chocolates in the cake and dark on top, etc.
  • Also, you can forego the chocolates and be very creative!
  • This cake is BEAUTIFUL with crushed lavender and rosemary and no frosting, or with pine nuts and chopped dates for Christmas.
  • We also like to cut the cake in half and use homemade fruit preserves instead.
