Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Have all ingredients at room temperature.
Melt the 5 ounces of the chocolate in a double boiler over hot water. Remove from heat and let cool.
Separate the eggs. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat the egg yolks in gradually until light in color. Add the melted, cooled chocolate and beat it in. Gradually add the sifted flour to the batter.
