  1. Step 1

    Sift first 5 ingredients into large bowl. Mix in sugar. Stir chocolate and butter in heavy small saucepan over medium-low heat until melted. Pour into medium bowl. Whisk in eggs, then milk, kirsch and vanilla. Make well in center of dry ingredients. Gradually whisk in milk mixture.
