Chocolate Gateau

Ingredients

Heat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease an 8-inch round springform tin and line the base with baking parchment.
Break the chocolate into a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water and stir until melted (or melt it in the microwave in short bursts, stirring between each).
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs a little at a time, adding a spoonful of the flour if the mixture starts to curdle. Fold in the rest of the flour along with the cooled melted chocolate and the milk, mixing until smooth.
Spread into the tin and bake for 50–55 minutes, until firm in the centre and a skewer comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes, then turn out and cool completely.
