Instructions to make Gateau au Chocolat [Classic Chocolate Cake]:

3. Prep 3: Sift together the cocoa power and the flour.
4. Prep 4: Finely chop or grate the chocolate into small pieces.
5. In a double-boiler, combine the chocolate and butter, melt and keep warm.
6. In a separate double-boiler, combine the egg yolks and granulated sugar (A). Heat until warm to the touch.
7. When the egg mixture has warmed up, remove from the double-boiler and beat until fluffy and the color becomes whitish. You can use the same warm water (double-boiler) from Step 5 by replacing the bowls.
8. Combine Step 5 into 7 and mix it really well.
9. Pour heavy whiping cream into the batter and mix more.
10. Add the sifted dry ingredients and mix it even more.

18. Take the cake out of the pan, remove the parchment paper and let it cool. When the cake is completely cool, wrap it with plastic wrap and refrigerate. When it cools down, the center will deflate.
