Death by Chocolate





8 oz semi sweet chocolate (40 - 50% cocoa)


2/3 cup butter


1 cup sugar


4 eggs


4 tablespoons flour


4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder


1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder or 1 teaspoon baking soda


1 teaspoon vanilla extract


4 tablespoons sour cream





1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees


2. Line a circular 10 inch cake non stick paper and grease the tin.


3. Break the chocolate into small pieces and melt it with butter over hot water.


4. Beat the eggs with sugar, mix with cocoa powder, baking powder and vanilla extract.


5. Slowly fold in the melted butter and chocolate and the sour cream.


6. Bake at 350 degrees until a wooden toothpick comes out clean, approximately 40 - 50 minutes (if using 2 cake tins, 20 - 30 minutes may be sufficient).


7. Cool the cake completely. When it is at room temperature, place it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before removing the cake from the tin (the cake is sticky and difficult to cut when it is warm!). Remove the crusted surface on the top of the cake and cut it in half, horizontally.





FROSTING:





Heat 2/3 cut of heavy cream or whipping cream in a saucepan.


Remove from heat and add 9 oz finely chopped dark semisweet chocolate, stir until smooth, and let it cool until it thickens.


Use 1/3 of the frosting between the layers, 1/3 on top and the rest around the cake. Put the cake into the fridge for one more hour or more to harden the frosting.


This cake should be at room temperature when served.
