World's Best Chocolate Cake

People, friends, women of the earth! I've found it! The best chocolate cake recipe ever.

3 dl all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 dl cocoa (the real 99.9% kind)
3 dl sugar
2 dl brown sugar
3 dl dark chocolate chunks/chips (at least 70% cocoa)
2 dl melted butter
4 eggs

1. Mix the dry ingredients. Mix the wet ingredients. Mix them all together.
2. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes.

Eat while still warm.

This cake is ostentatiously called World's Best Chocolate Cake, but I must say, it might just be exactly that.
The secret are the melted chocolate chips, which give it a sort of souffle type moisture. Perfect.

It was so good that all of us ran around with the biggest smiles on our faces all night.

* adapted and translated from here. (The original recipe adds 1 dl of espresso to the mix). First seen on pinterest.

PS. Update: MariLouise wanted to know what a dl is. My inner math genius/the internet tells me that
1dl = 0.422675284 US cups. I think this recipe is forgiving enough that if you just use 1dl = a half cup as a guide,
you'll be fine. :)

Phew. To check out more measuring unit loveliness, go here. I know you want to. :P

We spent yesterday's evening at Linnanmäki, Helsinki's amusement park. My memory
card was full, so I took only a few pics of the kids, but I got some paparazzi shots of
the newlywed lovebirds with whom we went.

Too cute those two.

And Sisie couldn't get on any of the rides. It's tough to be small sometimes.
