Two-ingredient chocolate cake

Start making the chocolate cake by lining a small cake pan with baking paper. You can grease the paper with some extra butter if you like. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees.

Carefully melt the chocolate in the microwave or over a pan of simmering water. Let the chocolate cool to room temperature.

Separate the egg whites and yolks. Beat the egg whites until stiff. Add the yolks one by one to the room temperature melted chocolate and mix by hand.

Add a third of the egg whites to the chocolate mixture and beat until smooth (you don't need to be careful not to let the foam settle during the first addition). Then carefully fold in the rest of the egg whites with a whisk. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the surface.

Bake the cake in the oven until cooked through, about 13 minutes. Allow the cake to cool and then invert onto a serving platter. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
