- ½ cup boiled water
- 125 gr. / 2.5 oz. chocolate at least 60% cocoa
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup margarine
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2½ cups self – rising flour
- 1 tsp soda or 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- Preheat oven to 175° C / 345° F.
- Butter and flour either one big spring form or two smaller ones.
- What I usually do is divide the batter into one medium spring form and another bread form.
- Melt chocolate with the hot water.
- Whisk until fully dissolved.
- Divide the egg yolks from the whites.
- In the mixer mix the sugar with the margarine until it becomes pale and fluffy.
- Add the egg yolks.
- Put the mixer to slow and throw the chocolate and the vanilla extract.
- Add alternately the flour-soda or baking powder- salt mixture and the milk.
- In another bowl whisk the whites to become meringue.
- Add the meringue to the batter and mix gently with a spatula.
- Throw the mixture to the pan or pans and bake for 40 to 45 minutes depending on the oven and the size of the pans.
- Start checking them after 30 minutes by inserting a knife. If it comes out clean then they are done.
