Do not reduce the chocolate to a floury consistency

The size should be that of small peas

You want to have small pieces of chocolate in your cake after it baked

You can use chocolate morsels instead

But the quality of the cake improves if you use a good quality chocolate and not the regular chocolate morsels
- 7
Match the quality of your chocolate with the quality of your cacao
