- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, then add the butter and stir until smooth.
- Stir this mixture into the egg yolks, then add the flour and baking powder. Stir in the milk, then beat the egg whites until stiff and gently fold them into the batter.
- Pour the mixture into the pan, then bake for 10 minutes at 180°C. Reduce the temperature to 150°C and bake for another 30 minutes. Remove from the pan and let cool.
- For the glaze, melt the chocolate with the sifted powdered sugar, then add the cream until the mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat, stir in the butter, and mix until the glaze is smooth and glossy.
- Pour the warm glaze over the cake for a drizzled effect, or use a piping bag to create neat drips along the edges.
- Decorate the center with small colored eggs.
