MOST CHOCOLATEY CHOCOLATE CAKE
This cake is the most moist and chocolatey chocolate cake I ever had! I found this in a cookbook made by the Hersheys company and it might taste better if you use their type of cocoa or icing. It is incredibly delicious!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300°F; line an 8-inch diameter shallow cake pan 2 inches deep with nonstick baking paper, then grease it with butter and sprinkle with flour.
- Beat the eggs with one third of the sugar until the mixture quadruples in volume (this operation will require beating for around 10 minutes with an electric beater). Heat the rest of the sugar in a saucepan with 1 cup water until the sugar dissolves into a syrup.
- Add the chocolate pieces and the butter. Mix well. When smooth, remove from the heat and leave to cool. Pour the mixture over the eggs while it is still slightly warm and continue to beat gently until it is smooth (no more than 20 seconds).
- Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan and place the pan in a roasting pan of hot water. The water must come right up to the top of the mold, so that the cooking is uniform.
- Bake it for 30 minutes in the oven until it has set. Check for doneness by gently placing the palm of your hand on the surface. If it is not set, continue cooking.
- Cool the cake in the pan before turning upside down to unmold onto a cake plate. Serve with a spoonful of whipped cream some fresh raspberries or just inhale the cake straight off the plate! If you're feeling really crazy for chocolate, top the cake with chocolate curls too ;).
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate you use, the better your cake will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at the right temperature. The ideal baking temperature for chocolate cake is 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Don't overbake the cake. Overbaking can make the cake dry. Bake the cake for the amount of time specified in the recipe.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
