Easy Chocolate Cake Recipe with real chocolate?

I don’t have many ingredients at home…usually i make Chocolate Cakes with cocoa powder but i have none left.
I do, however, have real chocolate. And yes, i DO know how to melt chocolate but i’ve never used it in a cake before.
So, what’s a Simple Chocolate Cake recipe using real chocolate?

Heres a great recipe that I found for Chocolate Lava Cake back when I was trying to teach myself how to cook. It was very easy to make and is AWESOME!
