Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 5, 180°C, fan 160°C. Grease and line a 2lb loaf tin. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the butter and sugar with an electric hand whisk until pale and very fluffy. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then add the melted chocolate and whisk until incorporated.
- Sift over the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder. Use a large metal spoon to fold into the mixture. Once combined, fold through most of the chopped chocolate.
- Pour the batter into the cake tin, level the top, scatter over the remaining chopped chocolate and bake for 45-50 mins until risen and an inserted tip of a knife comes out clean.
