Melt the butter, then add the chopped chocolate and stir until it has dissolved. Stir in the sugar and a good dash of Cointreau. Then add the eggs.

Either line the form with baking paper or grease it thoroughly, preheat the oven to 160 ° C. Pour in the mixture and bake for 40 minutes. Be careful: Please adjust the heat and the duration to the conditions of your own oven and be careful the first time.
