This recipe originates from the wilton.com recipe collection. In my opinion, the guys have normally very good recipes. In this specific case, there was nothing wrong with the taste in itself (especially when licking the batter off the bowl), but I personally think the baked cake was very friable.
This is how it looked:
which obviously made me very happy I intended to decorate it rather than serving it as is...
This is anyway the "original" recipe halved if you want to make smaller cakes. But if you want a whole batter, double up.
Ingredients
85gr butter
1 cups dark chocolate chips
170gr sugar
2 small eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
140gr all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1,75dl water
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray pan with vegetable pan spray. Melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips and butter together either in microwave oven or on top of range over low heat. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Pour into electric mixer bowl. Add sugar; beat until well blended. Beat in eggs, one at time. Add vanilla. Stir in 1/2 cup flour, baking soda and salt; mix well. Add remaining flour and water; mix until smooth. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 40-45 minutes or until cake tests done. Place pan on cooling rack. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips over cake; let stand 2-3 minutes or until chips have softened. Gently spread melted chocolate over top of cake. Cool completely in pan before covering.
Personally, I was not very impressed by the idea of melting the chocolate chips at the top of the cake. The result was a very friable top cover. In the filled cake it just gave a crunchy texture. Both of these points I could really as well have lived without.
