This is a chocolate cake which comes from Metz in France. I was given the recipe when I lived in France from a friend from there, but I have admittedly never tried making it myself. He made it for me often, though, and it is very good. We would eat it with single cream drizzled over it.
Ingredients:
4 eggs
1 cup caster sugar
1 cup flour
1 cup creme fraiche (or heavy cream)
4 ounces grated semisweet chocolate
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F
2. Butter an eight-inch round cake pan.
3. Beat the eggs and sugar until the mixture is pale in color.
4. Sift the flour and blend inches
5. Add the cream and chocolate and mix well.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Turn the cake out onto a rack and cool completely before serving.
