| Emergency Chocolate Cake |
Well, I've got a recipe that's so ridiculously easy, it's practically criminal. We're talking only two ingredients, guys. TWO!
All you need is...
That's right. Chocolate & Eggs. It's like some kind of delicious magic trick. And the best part? It's basically a health food in disguise.
Okay, maybe not health food, but it's gluten-free, low-carb, and even Keto-friendly. So you can indulge your inner chocoholic without feeling like you've committed a major dietary crime.

* The Players (Ingredients):
300g Your Favourite Dark Chocolate (the good stuff, people, we're not messing around here)
4 Free Range Eggs (room temperature, because we're not wrestling with cold yolks)
(Optional, for the Keto crowd or moisture lovers: 50-70g of butter)
* The Alchemy (Instructions):
300g Your Favourite Dark Chocolate (the good stuff, people, we're not messing around here)
4 Free Range Eggs (room temperature, because we're not wrestling with cold yolks)
(Optional, for the Keto crowd or moisture lovers: 50-70g of butter)
Melt the chocolate: We're talking a smooth, silky pool of chocolatey goodness. You can use a double boiler, a microwave (in short bursts, people, no chocolate explosions!), whatever gets the job done. If you're going full-Keto or want extra moisture, melt that butter in with the chocolate.
Whisk the eggs: Now, here's the secret to the cake's lift. Get those eggs nice and airy. If your eggs are feeling chilly, give them a 10-minute spa treatment in some lukewarm water. Trust me, they'll be much more cooperative.
Mix & Bake: Gently fold the whisked eggs into the melted chocolate. We want to keep that air in there, so be delicate. Then, pour this luscious batter into a greased cake pan and bake until it's set but still slightly fudgy in the middle.

* But wait, there's more!
Steamed not baked?: No oven? No problem! Grease a heatproof bowl, pour in the batter, cover it with foil, and steam it for 15-20 minutes. Boom. Cake achieved.
Pro tip: Warm a slice in the microwave for 15-20 seconds before devouring. It's like a warm chocolate hug for your taste buds.
So there you have it, guys. The Emergency Chocolate Cake. It's easy, it's decadent, and it's almost healthy. You're welcome.
