Ultimate chocolate cake instructions

1. Turn on the oven to 180C. Start by dividing the chocolate into squares and put them in a bowl together with the butter (chopped into pieces). Put the bowl into the microwave and melt the butter and chocolate on the defrost setting. You want chocolate and butter to be melted but not cooked together.
