An easy chocolate cake recipe with a twist

Students are interesting creatures. Even though each and every one of us adores the cakes and cookies our mom makes at home, once we say goodbye and start living the college life we tend to live off of cup ramen and McDonalds. And when we decide to do some home cooking, we stick to the simplest of recipes.

So, what do we get when we combine a chocolate craving, a student on a budget and general laziness? The best chocolate recipe ever! The catch? You only need two ingredients.

First things first. You will need a kitchen. Got it? Great. Now, go put on your apron and find that cooking hat because we are going for a ride.
Ingredients:


      -  5.8 oz. Unsweetened chocolate
     - 3 Eggs

That’s all you need.

  1. Break the chocolate bars into little pieces, then melt the chunks over hot water (you can also use the microwave for that, but using water look more fancy (plus, you can make tea out of it).





2.  


  2. While the chocolate is melting, crack and separate the eggs into whites and yolks. Get your electric hand whisk and beat the egg whites until fluffy. You can test the fluffiness of the egg whites by turning the bowl upside down. Just be careful, and make sure to keep extra eggs at hand in case you mess up.









3. Preheat the oven to 350° F




4. By now the chocolate should be nice and creamy so let it cool down for a minute or two before adding the yolks. Mix them together and you’re almost done.










5. Start adding the beaten eggs whites into the mixture while stirring. Do not use an electric whisk, because the batter won’t stay fluffy and the cake won’t rise.






 



 6. Pop it into the oven for 30-40 minutes. If you are not sure you can always check if the cake is ready by piercing it with a toothpick.
And voila, your very own cake is ready to be enjoyed. Just let it cool down and sprinkle some powdered sugar over it.
