1 tsp vanilla extract

4 eggs

2 cups (300g) plain flour

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees  . Grease and line the base and sides of a 23cm springform cake pan.

2. Place chocolate and 60g of butter in a heatproof bowl over a pan of gently simmering water (don't let the bowl touch the water). Stir occasionally until melted , then set aside to cool.

3. Place the sugar and remaining butter in an electric mixer and beat until pale and fluffy, then beat in the vanilla extract. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition, until just combined. Beat in the chocolate mixture.
