This is a great cake to make for that special person in your life – it's not too difficult and totally delicious! Serve it with a little glass of whatever booze you decide to
add to the chocolate sauce – I love brandy, but rum, Amaretto or Baileys would also work well.

Ingredients Method

For The Cake Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4 and grease a small ovenproof dish (23-25cm) with butter.

2 tablespoons cocoa powder Mix the cocoa powder with a few tablespoons of boiling water and stir until the mixture is lovely and smooth.
100 g butter, softened
100 g caster sugar In another bowl or a food mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until fluffy and light, then add the cocoa mixture, egg, flour and baking
1 free-range egg powder. Mix it all together really well, pour into your ovenproof dish and sprinkle the cherries and hazelnuts on top before putting in the
100 g self-raising flour oven for about 25 minutes.
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ tin black cherries, drained While your cake is baking, make your chocolate sauce. Place the butter in a small pan with the cream and bring to the boil. Turn off the
2 tablespoons hazelnuts, chopped heat and add your chocolate pieces to the pan. Give it all a good stir and then leave it for 5 minutes so that the hot cream can melt the
chocolate. Add a splash of your desired alcohol and stir until thoroughly combined.
For The Chocolate Sauce
To check if your cake is ready, give it a bit of a jiggle and if it doesn't wobble too much then it's done, if not, give it a few more minutes in
1 tablespoon butter the oven.
142 ml single cream
75 g good-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa Once it's ready, pour your warm chocolate sauce all over the cake and either share it right from the dish or serve it up on two small plates
solids), broken into small pieces with vanilla ice cream or double cream. Delicious!
1 splash brandy, rum, Amaretto or Baileys
