This is decadent but oh so tasty. - iraasuup

Ingredients

225 g milk chocolate
25 g cocoa powder sifted
4 egg lightly beaten
50 g icing sugar sifted
1 tbs cornflour
150 ml double cream whipped

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180C.
Step 2

Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.
Step 3

When just melted, remove from heat and stir in the cocoa. Mix well and let cool to lukewarm.
Step 4

Using an electric mixer, whisk the eggs, sugar and cornflour until pale in colour and doubled in volume.
Step 5

Using a large metal spoon, fold in the cooled chocolate mixture, and then the cream.
Step 6

Pour the mixture into a prepared 20 cm greased and paper-lined springform cake tin.
Step 7

Bake for about 1 hour or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Remove from oven and run a sharp knife around the edge of the tin.
Step 8

Allow to cool in the tin. The cake will sink a little in the middle. When cool, remove from the tin and dust with icing sugar.
