Method

1
Melt the butter and the chopped chocolate in a microwave on medium power, stirring occasionally, or in a saucepan on the stovetop. Heat only until the chocolate is melted. Stir in the cocoa powder.
2
Let the melted chocolate mixture cool to lukewarm. Add the sugar. Whisk in the eggs. Add the mixture of flour and baking powder, and stir until smooth.
3
Clamp a piece of baking paper between the bottom and the rim of a springform cake pan (Ø 20 - 22 cm). Pour the batter into the pan.
4
Bake the cake on the middle or lower rack of the oven at 200 degrees with conventional heat for about 15 minutes. A done mud cake is cooked on the surface and edges, but soft and chocolaty on the inside.
5
Let the cake cool for a moment. Remove the rim of the springform pan. Transfer the cake onto a serving platter.
6
Serve the cake with whipped cream seasoned with vanilla sugar and, if desired, fresh raspberries.
