How to make The Ultimate rich dark chocolate cake

First I start with real chocolate nibs, which I roast in an oven at 425 for 30 mins or until the color of dark roasted coffee beans. Then I let them cool for 1 hour. After they are cooled I put the nibs into a coffee grinder and grind them extra fine, then i mix it with powdered sugar to make my own cocoa mix.
