The best chocolate cakes ever!
250g Soft Unsalted Butter
250g Best Quality Dark Chocolate (85% Cocoa)
330g Muscovado Sugar
4 Large Eggs
2/3rds Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2/3rds Teaspoon Salt
150g Plain Flour
200g Chopped Hazelnuts (optional)
Turn the oven to 180 degrees (160 for a fan assisted oven)
Melt the butter and sugar together in a pan, when melted, put the muscovado sugar in and take it off the heat. Squish the lumps out of the sugar and pour into a mixing bowl.
Mix in the eggs, and the rest of the ingredients together adding the flour and nuts last, if you're not keen on mixing then just whisk the shit out of it.
Put the mixture into 24 cake cases and bake for 10 minutes, turn the baking trays round and then cook for a further 10 minutes.
They taste so damn good and it's very difficult to get them wrong...

Mmmmmm!

Edit:
Knock Knock.

You've got no raising agents in your 'cake' recipe
that's probably why it looks like poo. You need to either beat your egg whites or add baking powder. Hth.

Thanks but there isn't meant to be any
That would be a rookie mistake. Essentially they're brownies but in cupcakes, HTH :-)

Fair enough.
You confused me when you accidentally wrote "cake" when you meant to write "shitty yank toddler slops".

Here's a thought...
Try it first and then decide... :-)

That's a kind suggestion but I'm in my forties and know how to make real cakes.

Well done, have a biscuit!
You're obviously a cake expert and connoisseur, I didn't realise that the lack of a raising agent would cause you so much trouble that you couldn't avoid commenting. You're in your forties? If you lost 10 stone, you could be back in your thirties! :-)

Why would I have a biscuit?
I just told you I know how to make cake.
