Chocolate Cake (Dense)

Ingredients
- 250 gram of self raising flour, sieved
- 50 gram of cocoa powder (I substituted this with a 60gm sachet of instant milo powder and it tasted just as good!)
- 260 gram of brown sugar
- 200-250 gram of milk chocolate bar, break into pieces
- 250 gram of butter, softened
- 200 ml of water
- 4 eggs

Method:
1) Microwave the chocolate and butter together for 1-2mins (or until both are melted)

2) In the meantime, place flour, sugar and cocoa powder in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs and water into the dry mixture. Beat with electrical mixer with low speed for 1 – 2 minutes.

3) Stop beating, add in warm melted chocolate and butter mixture. Continue beating with medium-low speed (speed no.2 out of 5) for 6 – 8 minutes, or until it looks smooth and lightly foamy kind of consistency (you may test its readiness by scooping a spoonful of mixture, and it should adhere on the upturned spoon for at least 1 second).

4) Grease 8” square or round cake tin evenly using butter or olive oil. Spoon cake mixture into cake tin.

5) Preheat oven using 150°C (top and bottom heat on). Place cake tin at centre rack. Bake for 1 hour. Toothpick inserted to the cake should come out clean. Allow cake to cool on wire rack, for about an hour.

6) When cake is completely cooled, remove from tin.

You can either serve it warm or chilled. The cake somehow tasted better when chilled and left overnight.
