Steps

1 hour and 30 minutes

1

In a saucepan, combine the butter, 1 cup boiling water, cocoa powder, and sugar. Stir in the vanilla extract and brandy. Heat the mixture, but do not let the sugar fully dissolve. Once heated, remove 1 cup of the liquid and set it aside.
2

In a bowl, beat the eggs. Gradually add the self-rising flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing well. Slowly add the warm chocolate mixture to the bowl, combining the two mixtures. Pour the batter into a baking pan and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 20 minutes (preheat the oven with both top and bottom heat).
3

Once baked, let it cool slightly. In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate with the heavy cream. Cut the cake and pour the warm chocolate mixture over the top. Refrigerate, and once chilled, cut and serve with ice cream if desired.
4

For a moister chocolate pie, after removing from the oven and cutting, you can pour over 1 1/2 cups simple syrup (made from 1/2 cup water, 1 cup sugar, and 2 tablespoons honey), then pour the reserved chocolate syrup on top. It will be delicious! Good luck!
