Whisk the eggs, sugar and vanilla until pale, thick and doubled in size.

Pour in the melted chocolate and butter.

Sieve in the flour, cocoa and flour then gently fold the mixture into itself until just combined. If you’re adding nuts, fruit or sweets, now is the time to toss them in for a final fold.
