Instructions to make Chocolate Cake for a Grown-Up Valentine's Day:
- Make the sponge cake. Put the eggs in a bowl, beat and put the bowl over a bain-marie. Add the granulated sugar and stir well. When the mixture is warmed to about body temperature remove from the bain-marie.

- Shift the dry ingredients into the bowl and fold in gently with a plastic spatula. Add the melted butter and stir until smooth.
