Its not that difficult to make, but way easier if you have a electric mixer. (I'm too broke to get one!)
This recipe is adapted from: ktinka from nibbledish.

Love her Bambi frosting decorations!
My recipe:
Ingredients for cake:
1) 3 eggs (instead of 4, cos I realised that I only had 3 left in the fridge)
2) 250g caster suger (makes mixing easier, cos i was beating it manually)
3) 250g dark chocolate buttons from Coles
4) 250g unsalted butter
5) 250g plain flour
Ingredients for decoration:
1) 90g white chocolate buttons from Coles
2) 80ml pouring (whipping) cream
3) Queen's writing icing
Steps for cake:
1) Preheat oven at 200 deg C.
2) Put caster sugar and eggs in a bowl. Beat until frothy.
3) Melt dark chocolate buttons and butter on stove using a double boiling method (aka water bath).
4) Pour chocolate/butter mix into bowl with eggs and sugar.
5) Add sieved flour and stir in. (you will get a liquid dough)
6) Coat bottom and sides of baking pan with butter (if not using baking paper)
7) Add liquid dough into pan and bake in oven at 200 deg C for 20 to 25 min. (Centre of cake should be quite similar to molten choc lava)
8) Don't cut immediately.
9) Place it in fridge for about 20 minutes before decorating
10) Meanwhile, melt white chocolate buttons with whipped cream with the double boiling method (aka water bath)
11)Cool the mixture before coating on the cake.
12) Place cake in fridge again till coating solidify.
12) Decorate with whatever other ingredients you have!
TADA~! Final product is the cake i made for my roommate's birthday!
Be sure not to put the cake in the fridge for too long for step 9, or the cake will be too hard (like mine)!
