3 eggs, lightly beaten

1 tsp vanilla extract

75g plain flour

30g cocoa powder

  5. Add flour, cocoa powder and salt and stir until smooth. Stir in chopped dark chocolate and pour into pan.
  6. Bake 24 minutes for really gooey in the centre, 28 minutes for fudgey but still very moist or 32 minutes for moist fudge-cake-like.
