stirring frequently, until melted. Remove from the heat and cool to room
temperature, stirring occasionally. about 25 minutes.

Beat the eggs in a large mixer bowl until frothy. Gradually add the sugar
and beat until mixture becomes thick and lemon-colored and ribbon forms
when the beaters are lifted, about 10 minutes. Add the vanilla. Gradually
add the chocolate mixture and beat well. Fold in the flour and pour the
batter into the prepared pan.

Bake 45 to 50 minutes, until the top of the cake begins to crack. Cool
completely in the pan on a wire rack, then wrap and refrigerate overnight.
