"Death by Chocolate" or my first cake

Remember this recipes book I ordered? Yesterday it was my firts attempt in the magical world of desserts (given the name of my blog that's ironic, I know). I tried with the page 265, a good-looking cake known as DEATH BY CHOCOLATE. It was really death, not only making it -I spent half an hour trying to make the eggs with the sugar grow- but also eating it. It was deathly tasty! In fact, if you don't like chocolate don't even try it, cause it's pure cocoa, and even if you like it, I recommend not to eat a big piece unless you want to feel your arteries obstructing.

Anyway, I encourage you to print the recipe -you can find a photo below, I'm too lazy to copy- and bake it. Hope the result looks more or less like mine.

Who said that British cooking sucked?

No, I didn't! One of the things I miss the most from my last year in England (I was in Nottingham, in case I didn't mention it before) is the food. Some people would be astonished about this declaration, but I really miss jacked potatoes, fudge chocolate cake, fish and chips, pies... Yes, I know is nothing near healthy, but it's tasty! So, saturday night I went to my friend Andrea's birthday party and there she showed me a great book her boyfriend's grandma gave to her: The Great British Book of Baking. Once I oppened it I discovered a marvelous world of naan bread, crumpets, pies, pastries...and I started to drool like Homer Simpson.
Yesterday I was with my friends Bea and Lou making an order in Amazon.co.uk and Bea and me couldn't help buying one book for each. It was 10 pounds and for that price I think we deserve baking the taste of Britain.
By the way, I just received my previous order (check this post) and Tamara Drewe's book is simply great. I strongly recommend it.
