Proudly supported by

This quick chocolate & nut cake is the perfect pud for a get-together – simply melt, mix and stick it in the fridge.

Ingredients

100g/4oz butter

400g/14oz dark chocolate

50g/2oz sugar

½ tsp cinnamon

200g/8oz macaroons or coconut biscuits, broken into pieces

100g/4oz Brazil nuts, roughly chopped

desiccated coconut, to serve

Method

  1. Line a 900g loaf tin with a double layer of cling film. Melt the butter, chocolate and sugar in the microwave on Medium for 2-3 mins or in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water over a low heat. Stir in the cinnamon, macaroons or the coconut biscuits and nuts.

  2. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, smooth over the surface with a knife and cover completely with cling film. Leave in the fridge to set for at least 2 hrs. To serve, set on a plate, remove cling film and sprinkle with desiccated coconut. The cake is fairly rich, so slice into thin pieces and serve with fresh fruit or ice cream if you like.
