Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius/ 340°F/ 170°C. Butter the loaf pan.
- Grate the dark chocolate on a fine grater or process the chocolate in the food processor; it should be rather finely ground. If using dark chocolate chips, you will not be able to grate them, but then you will definitely need a food processor to grind them finely.7 oz dark chocolate/ 200 g

- Bake breadcrumb cake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60 to 70 minutes, depending on your oven. Turn off the heat and let the cake stand for another 5 to 10 minutes in the hot oven. Remove from the oven.
- Let stand in the pan for about 20 minutes, remove, and let cool completely on a wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.powdered sugar
