Cuddle chocolate cake

This is my favorite chocolate cake.It’s something sublime, delicious and very easy to make. In Italy is called “Torta Tenerina” and its a typical dessert from Ferrara. The name means  soft and  sweet just like a cuddle.

Method:

• In a pan melt the chocolate, when the chocolate is melted add the butter {you can do this part in the microwave too just remember to melt the chocolate FIRST and then add the butter}.
• Pour the chocolate sauce in a bowl and let it cool down.
• Separating the yolks add one yolk at the time to the cake.
• Add the flour and mix.
• Beat the egg white with the sugar, and add it to the cake mixture.
• Mix until is nice and smooth.
• Butter a 22 cm cake pan, sprinkle some flour and pour the cake mix in.
