Ingredients
- 150 g chocolate (in Poland it’s one and half bar of chocolate. You can use chocolate chips too)
- 160 g butter (6 oz, one and half stick)
- 200 g flour ( 7 oz)
- 6 heaping tablespoons sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon cocoa
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, let it cool.
Beat the butter with sugar until fluffy. Add one egg at a time, continuously beating. Finally, pour in the melted chocolate and mix all.
In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and cocoa, then add to the batter. Stir everything thoroughly with spatula. Pour the batter into a buttered babka pan. Bake for about 40 minutes in an oven preheated to 180 degrees Celsius.
Once baked and cooled, drizzle the cake with melted chocolate or like me: sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Smacznego!
