Take her advice and make this cake… let’s get cracking.

Ingredients

  • 100 g butter

  • 100 g dark chocolate (at least 65% cacao), chopped

  • 4 medium eggs

  • 100 g caster sugar

  • 100 g (about 1 cup) ground almonds

  • ½– ¾ cup frozen berries, defrosted & drained

  • Cocoa & Icing sugar for dusting

  • Whipped cream – to serve

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 170 fan bake. Grease the sides of 21cm spring form cake tin. Line bottom with baking paper.
  • In a small saucepan gently melt butter and chocolate over a low heat. Remove from heat, cover with a tea towel and set aside.
  • Separate the eggs into two bowls. Add sugar to the yolk and beat until very pale, thick and foamy. Whisk cooled chocolate/butter mix until smooth and fold into egg/sugar mix, along with almonds until a smooth batter. Beat egg whites until soft peak stage and fold these into the cake batter in 2-3 batches.
  • Gently scrape mixture into prepared tin. Arrange berries on top (they will sink during cooking but don’t worry).
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes until skewer inserted comes out clean. Leave to cool for 10 minutes in the tin before running a knife around the edges and releasing.
  • Dust with cocoa & icing sugar and serve warm with whipped cream.
