Kerry's Chocolate Cake

Not a family recipe - but who cares. It's delicious.

For 8 people:

3 eggs
125g sugar
100g flour
200g dark (70%) chocolate
15cl water
125g semi-salted butter

In a big bowl beat together the eggs and the sugar. Then add flour and beat until the mixture is completely homogenous.

Preheat the oven to gas mark 6 – 7 (200 degrees). Break chocolate into a bowl, add water and melt in the microwave for 2 minutes.

Mix the melted chocolate and water then add the butter cut up into little pieces. Put in the microwave for another 1-2 minutes and give it another stir.

Pour the melted chocolate mixture in with the flour, eggs and sugar and stir well.

Pour the mixture into a buttered loaf tin and put in the oven for 15 minutes.

It shouldn’t be cooked all the way through, but still gooey in the middle – you can test this with a knife. Let it cool for 15 mins before turning it out.
