Chocolate cake

Chop up the 150 g of dark chocolate and melt it in a bain-marie or microwave, without overheating, then set aside. Chop the other 150 g of chocolate and set aside.

Preheat the oven to 160°C and line the bottom of the cake pan with parchment paper.

Put butter, sugar and vanilla sugar in a bowl and whisk together until foamy. Add cream cheese and melted chocolate, whisk together until smooth. Now add the eggs, one at a time, while continuing to whisk. Finally add sifted flour, bitter cocoa, baking powder and salt. Whisk together again.

Pour half of the mixture into the cake pan and level with a spoon. Spread half of the chopped chocolate over the mixture and cover with the remaining mixture. Finish with the remaining chocolate pieces and bake for 30-35 minutes.

Take the cake out of the oven and leave to cool for 10 minutes, then remove from the cake pan and leave to cool on a wire rack.
