Ingredients
- Heaping cup dark cooking chocolate
- Heaping cup butter
- Heaping cup caster (superfine) sugar
- 8 eggs
- 1/3 cup plain (all-purpose) flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- Chocolate curls and icing (confectioners') sugar, to decorate (optional)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line one 12-hole or two 6-hole cupcake tins with paper cases.
- Melt the chocolate and butter together in a large heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir until smooth and combined. Remove from the heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the sugar and eggs together. Add to the chocolate mixture and stir until combined. Sift the flour and cocoa powder into the chocolate mixture, stirring well until you have a lovely gooey batter with no lumps.
- Half-fill the paper cases with the batter. Bake for 20 minutes or until firm to the touch but still sticky in the center.
- If desired, dust with icing sugar and top with chocolate curls.
