- 250 g (1/2 lb) sugar
- 170 g (6 oz) dairy butter

Break chocolate into chunks. Then melt the chocolate in a bain-marie. Add warmed dairy butter. Melt the mass until smooth stirring it continuously. Add sugar and melt it. Let the mixture cool. Add eggs one by one, each time mixing the batter until smooth. Combine flour, salt, and leaven. Sift the mixture and add it to the batter.
Chop walnuts finely and add them. Transfer the batter to the baking tray. Bake the cake in the preheated oven at 170°C (338°F) for 30 minutes. Check whether the cake is done or not with the help of a toothpick. If it comes out dry, the cake is already baked. Pay attention that this cake should be slightly moist.
