Prep

Prepping is just as important as the method. Not only does it make for smooth sailing, It ensures you have everything you need. Here's how to prep for this recipe.

Wash your hands.

Grease your tray.

(wash hands again)

Measure your ingredients.

Pre-heat the oven - Every oven is different. some take 5, some 15 but just please do it. Before the batter is in the oven ready to bake! That's why its listed in the prep. For this recipe I preheat my oven after the chocolate has cooled.

Make a bain-marie - do this by filling your saucepan with water 1/4 way. Place your glass bowl on top of the saucepan to ensure the water is not toughing the bottom of the bowl. Place over a low - medium heat and allow water to boil. Voi La - a ban marie!

Method

Step 1

Break the chocolate into the glass bowl. Add the butter, syrup and sugars and place over the boiling water to melt. Once melted set aside to cool.

Step 2

Whisk the eggs and vanilla paste together, slowly add it to the cooled chocolate. Do this bit by bit. It is important that the chocolate has cooled enough before adding the egg.

Step 3

Combine the dried ingredients, sieve into the chocolate mixture and fold in using a motion of 8. Do not whisk.

Step 4

Pour the smooth lump free batter into the already greased tray, place the tray into the center of a preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes at mark 4/5

Step 5

Remove from oven, allow to slightly cool before slicing and serving. Best served warm, but can be enjoyed cooled. I serve mine accompanied with ice cream. You can serve it with clotted cream, whipped cream, squirty cream, custard all of the above or just as it is..

Let me know how you enjoy yours, or any serving suggestions you wish to share!
