Danish Chokolade Kage

This is one I make at christmas, its absolutly amazing and extremely easy to make. I first tried it while living in Copenhagen and at a friends birhtday party so I call it my Danish Chocolate Cake.

250 gr butter
250 gr dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
250 gr sugar
4 Eggs
100gr flour
a little bit of cocoa, gold dust or powdered sugar to sprinkle on top.

1. Melt butter, sugar and chocolate over a bowl of bearing simmering water.
2. Whisk the eggs and then stir them into the "chocolate-mass".
3. Slowly add the flour, using a sieve to avoid lumps. You want the dough to be airy and light so fold the flour in gently.
4. Finally Pour the dough into a form and bake at 175° for 30-45min.
5. When cooled sprinkle with your preferred topping, gold dust for me.
