[join mailing list]

INGREDIENTS:

250gr bittersweet chocolate, chopped in small pieces
225gr unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
50gr caster sugar
30ml brandy
5 eggs
15ml plain flour
. . .
150 ml whipped cream
. . .
1 large mango sliced
30gr butter

30gr caster sugar

 

METHOD:

For the cake

In a saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate; butter and sugar, stirring frequently until smooth then add the brandy.
In a large bowl beat the eggs lightly for 1 minute. Beat in the flour and then slowly fold in the chocolate mixture. Place the mix in a round cake tin and cook in a preheated oven at 180C for 25 to 30 minutes (the centre of the cake should still be slightly undercooked).

In a frying pan cook the mango slices with the butter and sugar until caramelised.

Portion the cake and top each slice with the mango and whipped cream.

Bon appétit!
