1 packet of baking powder
3 tablespoons cocoa
1 packet chocolate icing (dark)

  1. Melt the butter in a pot.
  2. Add sugar, vanilla sugar, cocoa and water in the melted butter, mix well and bring to boil. Then leave it to cool.
  3. Add the eggs gradually to the mixture, stir well.  
  4. Mix the flour with the baking powder and add gradually to the dough, stir well.  
  5. Preheat oven to 180 °. Grease baking dish.  
  6. Put the dough (yes, it's quite fluid) into the baking pan and bake the cake on the middle rack for 1 hour.
