Add sifted flour and cocoa powder and gently mix with a spatula (2).
Step 3
Grease and flour a 30 cm x 30 cm (12 inches x 12 inches) square baking tray and pour the batter (1).
Cook in the middle shelf of the oven for 7 minutes (2).
Remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool down.
Step 4

Step 5
Melt the dark chocolate in a cup over a pot of boiling water (1).
Dip in the cake bar and allow cooling down on a sheet of baking paper (2).
