Recipe: Cake or Death?

The other day, I got the desperate urge to bake. Everybody handles stress differently, and for me, the best way to wind down is to muck about with eggs, butter and flour. I have no idea why, but I'm sure it's a better option than, say, turning to recreational drugs.

As Eddie Izzard would put it, cake or death?

Because I am also incapable of following a recipe without 'improving' it (the same goes for sewing patterns), I quickly invented a variety on what we call 'sugar cake' (which I suppose should be translated as 'sponge cake').

Ingredients

2 eggs
2 dl sugar (≈ 0.8 cups)
3 3/4 dl flour ( ≈ 1.5 cups)
2 tsp baking powder
50 gr melted butter + a little for the cake mould
1 dl milk (≈ 0.4 cups)
2 tsp vanilla sugar
100 gr Green & Black's Organic Chocolate with orange and spices, chopped
1 handful of sultanas  
Breadcrumbs

Prepare the cake mould with butter and bread crumbs.

Whisk eggs and sugar together until fluffy. Blend the flour, the baking powder and the vanilla sugar together (if you use vanilla extract, add it to the eggs and sugar before whisking it together instead). Mix the flour mix with the egg mix and add the melted butter, the chocolate and the sultanas. Try not to stir too much as that may cause the cake to sag and/or acquire a sad, gum-like quality.

Pour the mix into the cake mould and set in the oven at 175°C (between 325 and 350°F) for about 40 min.

When it's done, wait a few minutes and then turn the mould upside down. If needed, carefully pry the cake loose with a knife. Then let it cool under the mould (but honestly, not altogether because it's really good when still slightly warm because the chocolate is all runny and yummy).
