Method

  • Turn the oven on to Gas Mark 5 / 180 C / 350 F. Grease and flour a 9x13x2 inch rectangular baking tin.

  • Melt the chocolate.

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, butter, salt, sour cream, eggs, chocolate, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat with mixer at low speed until blended. Increase mixer to high speed and beat 2 minutes longer. Spoon batter into prepared tin.

  • Beat together the cream cheese, butter and icing sugar. Drop by spoonfuls over the top of the cake batter.

  • Bake for about 45-50 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the centre of the cake should come out clean.

    • Tips

    • This often takes longer to cook than it says it does, and I find a toothpick never comes out completely clean - just look for cake crumbs and icing, rather than unbaked cake.

      Use a high cocoa chocolate or it won't be very chocolatey. It will still taste nice, though.

      Also, it tastes a lot better on the second day, as it is too gooey straight out of the oven.

    This is a splice of several Internet recipes, and is converted from American hence unnecessarily precise amounts... It's called German, but I think it's German American.
