INGREDIENTS

For the cake:

4 ounces (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
½ cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sifted cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
A pinch of salt
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons ½ and ½
9-inch springform pan, buttered and lined with parchment paper

For the icing:

1 ounce (2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 ounce bittersweet chocolate
2 tablespoon ½ and ½
1 cup sifted confectioners’ sugar

HOW TO MAKE IT:
Preheat the oven to 350*F.
For the cake, melt the butter and chocolate together in a large, heavy bottomed saucepan over low heat. Take off the heat, and with a wooden spoon, beat in the sugar. Then beat in the eggs, one at a time. Stir in the vanilla. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa. Beat this mixture in, bit by bit, until it’s smoothly combined. Now stir in the ½ and ½. Scrape into the prepared pan. Place in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool, in the pan, on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Then take out of the pan and finish cooling on the rack.
To make the icing, melt the butter and chocolate in a small saucepan. Off the heat, beat in the ½ and ½. Beat in the confectioners’ sugar. Spread all over the surface of the cooled cake.
Serve 8-10.
