Default Choc. cake: mixing in flour

Hello,

There's a recipe for a wonderful boiled chocolate cake. This looks a lot like
it:
http://www.mouthwateringmunchies.com/?p=2011

At one point you get a cooled, pretty runny chocolate liquid and then you add
the eggs and flour. The trouble is that it's very difficult to mix in the flour
without getting any lumps. You could mix it with a machine mixer, but I've found
that it produces an inferior cake compared with folding in the flour gently by
hand, I guess because you lose the gas. So, you either get a reasonable cake
with no lumps of flour or a fantastic one with lumps. Are there any tricks to
gently mixing in the flour with no lumps?
