Super rich chocolate cake

Stupidly rich cake which uses no flour, really easy to make.

200g super dark chocolate 80%+ cocoa.
100g brown sugar.
100g caster sugar.
200g butter.
4 large eggs.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees centigrade.

In a saucepan bain marie (a bowl set over simmering water), melt together the butter and chocolate, mix and allow to cool.

Whisk together the eggs till foamy, and then whisk in the sugars.

Mix in the cooled chocolate and butter and thoroughly mix together.

Pour this mixture into a greased springform tin (~20cm diameter).

Put this tin into an oven bain marie; set the tin in a roasting tin and pour water into the roasting tin coming to about halfway up the side of the cake tin.

Bake for 1 hour.

Allow to cool and refrigerate.

Keep it in the fridge, it may take you a while to get through this one, as this cake is really rich, so small pieces will go far. Serve with ice cream.
