Arretje Nof - Dutch Chocolate Cake



This cake is so awesome and so easy. You can really only eat a small piece of it since it is so rich. It truly is a delicious holiday treat. Sorry, these measurements require a scale. Next time I make it, I'll measure it in cups.

Ingredients
4 eggs
250g of sugar
125 cocoa powder
375g of butter (4 sticks) (You cannot substitute oil for butter, otherwise the cake won't set.)
275g of biscuits (these are also known as digestives and can be found in the int'l aisle at the grocery store. They are similar to cookies, but crispier and not very sweet.)
A handful of dried cherries or craisens or other dried fruits. You can make it as fruity as you'd live.

Melt butter in the microwave until warm and melted. Break all the biscuits into small pieces.

Mix the eggs and sugar together until incorporated. Use a sieve to add the cocoa powder to the egg/sugar mixture. Next add melted butter slowly to ensure that the butter is incorporated. Make sure butter is mixed into the cocoa mixture well, otherwise you'll have large globs of butter in your cake.

Line a bread pan with parchment paper (this is a must, otherwise it's a pain to get out of the pan). Pour mixture into the pan and put in the fridge for about 4 hours.

Store in a cool place.

ENJOY!
