Ingredients:

1 cup butter
220g
2 cups self-raising flour
300g
1 cup dry cocoa powder
150g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
120g
2 cups sugar
460g
1.50 cups milk (1% fat)
360g
6 eggs
300g
1/2 cup powdered sugar
80g
1 cup dark chocolate
230g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13 inch baking pan or two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, sift together the self-raising flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and all-purpose white wheat flour. Mix until well combined.
3. Cream the Butter and Sugar:
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with the sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.
4. Add the Eggs:
Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
5. Incorporate the Milk:
Slowly add the milk to the butter-sugar-egg mixture, mixing gently to combine. The batter may look a little curdled, but that’s okay—it will smooth out once the dry ingredients are added.
6. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients:
Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want the batter to stay airy and light.
7. Fold in the Dark Chocolate:
Gently fold in the chopped dark chocolate using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
8. Pour and Smooth the Batter:
Pour the prepared batter into the lined baking pan(s). Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.
9. Bake:
Place the pan(s) in the preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes if using a 9x13 inch pan, or 25-30 minutes if using two 9-inch round pans. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
10. Cool the Cake:
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan(s) for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Dust with Powdered Sugar:
Once the cake is completely cool, dust the top with 1/2 cup of powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
12. Serve and Enjoy:
Slice the cake and serve. Enjoy this rich, moist, and chocolaty delight with family and friends!

Tips:

- Ensure that all your ingredients are at room temperature before you begin. This helps in better mixing and a more uniform batter.

- Sift the cocoa powder and flours to avoid lumps and ensure a smoother texture.

- Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer taste.

- When adding the eggs, do so one at a time and mix well after each addition to prevent the batter from curdling.

- Do not over-mix the batter as it can make the cake dense. Mix until just combined.

- Use a toothpick to test if the cake is done. Insert it into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.

- Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting or serving to ensure the best texture and flavor.
