Delicious and Dense Chocolate Cake

Well after two years of being dormant I have now decided to get active once again and what better way to start than Chocolate cake :).....Now who doesn't really love to dig into an amazingly moist and yum chocolate cake (there might be people but I guess too bad for them :p). Well this one recipe is one of my favourites. It is really simple and comes out well all the time.

Ingredients you would need :

200gms or 2 cups of multigrain flour (you could use plain flour too)
225 soft unsalted butter
380 gms either demerara or soft brown sugar
4 eggs medium size beaten
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
250 ml boiling water
100 gms dark chocolate melted (75% cocoa preferred) 
1 tsp vanilla extract

Method :

Preheat the oven to 190 degrees. Sieve the flour and bicarbonate of soda together so that it is mixed nicely.

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and allow to cool a bit. Put the water to boil.  In the meantime cream the butter and sugar with a electric beater and then add eggs, vanilla extract. Beat in well and then add the hot water and flour alternatively little at a time and blend well do not over mix. Here you can use a wooden spoon instead of hand mixer. Once all the flour and water are mixed you should have smooth and fairly liquid batter. 

Pour this into lined cake tin and bake for 30 mins at 190 degrees. After half an hour reduce the temperature to 170 degree and bake for another 15 mins. Depending on your tin size the cake can be squidgy inside so the tester might not come out clean. 

This cake always tastes much better a day later.
