Quadruple (Divided by 2) Chocolate Loaf Cake

Another round of Nigella! I decided to make her Quadruple Chocolate Loaf cake, however I didn't bother with the chocolate syrup nor the shaved chocolate on top. Hence, it's really just double. ;P You might ask why all this chocolate cake in such a short time span?!? No, I'm not a chocolate fiend, but more a pragmatist. I'm just trying to use up the container of sour cream sitting in the fridge. This cake is pretty easy to make as it uses the food processor. Just dump the ingredients in, whizz them around and dump it back out. Theoretically it's that easy. Unfortunately, when we replaced our old food processor, we bought a smaller one. I'm not sure why this was so since I always need big capacity everything!! The messy consequence of this poor decision is that I often overflow the food processor. =( I've found that when Nigella's recipes include the option to use the food processor, the ingredients go all the way to the brim of the processor's bowl, and if I'm not careful, it'll spill. I need to be super careful but even then, there's spillage. =( Another consequence of using the smaller food processor is the small motor. I'm going to kill that motor one of these days by overtaxing it. Ah but then I'll have an excuse to get myself a bigger one once more. =D

So what's the verdict on this cake? Everyone who had a piece loved it. I found that it to be a thick, rich and wonderfully chocolately. The ease of putting it together is a great bonus. Mind you, this is the "double" not "quadruple" chocolate version. I can only guess that if I had added the chocolate syrup, I would find this loaf too sweet for my sensitive taste buds. Shaving some chocolate on top would be a nice touch, but ultimately unnecessary. I'm more than pleased that the cake stands on its own without such superfluous flourishes. Now behold the delicious goods:
