By my measure, 9 ounces of flour is 2 1/8 cups. So is it 9 ounces or 1

1 1/8 cups. (I find my old scale has some serious problems)

So the 12 ounces of unsweetened chocolate is really about 8 ounces?
VBG What a disappointment :-).

No, because I didn't need to use a scale for that, I had a pre-measured
amount guaranteed to be 12 oz. So it really is 12 oz chocolate.

It's really hard to get unsweetened chocolate over here in Europe. Is there
someway to use, say, 70% or even 85% chocolate (e.g. by Lindt) and somehow
adjust the recipe?

So what happens if you use cocoa and butter -- in this case I'd use 9 oz
cocoa, 3 oz butter. I do this all the time with brownies since unsweetened
chocolate isn't easily available in the UK.

Its the dreaded Cadbury Curse, innit? All that milk powder shoving
out the taste of the cocoa.

You can use the Green & Blacks dark chocolate - while it isn't all
that great for plain eating, its great in brownies.

(If a tad expensive.)
