"This is a delicious and fairly easy to make cake from a French friend. It's very dense so don't be surprised when it deflates a while after you take it from the oven. Every time I make it someone asks for the recipe so I thought I should post it here."

ingredients

100 g butter, normal salted
200 g chocolate, black (for cooking)
100 g sugar
35 g flour
5 eggs
salt

directions

Melt butter and chocolate to cream. The best technique is bain marie.
Separate whites and yolks of the 5 eggs.
Add the sugar to the yolks and beat with an electric mixer until it becomes white (about 5 min). Then add the melted butter and chocolate, plus the flour stirring gently with a spoon.
Add a little bit of salt to the whites and beat with the electric mixer around 3 minute
Add the whipped whites to the other mixture, stirring gently.
Put the preparation in a cake tin.
Bake in oven at 180°F for 20-25 minutes (though in my oven it usually takes at least 30 minutes).
