For chocolate lovers, here's a delicious, moist chocolate pie. I found the recipe on www.paxxi.gr and it was calling out to me, 'make me'... I did, and I didn't regret it. It's easy and quick... The only downside is you have to wait two hours for the ganache to soak in... We couldn't resist... We cut it a little sooner... Perfect!!!

Steps

1

In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder.
2

In another bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until light and fluffy.
3

Add the warm (not hot) melted butter, milk, and liqueur, and mix well.
4

Combine the dry and wet mixtures together.
5

Grease a baking dish and dust it with cocoa powder, then pour in the batter.
6

Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 45-50 minutes using conventional heat (not convection).
7

In a small saucepan, heat the milk and melt the chocolate in it.
8

Pour the ganache over the cake after cutting it into pieces and poking holes all over so the syrup soaks in well (I used a small fork to poke from edge to edge).
9

Let it sit for 2 hours to absorb completely.
10

Don't worry if the syrup seems like a lot; the cake will soak it all up in the end.
