Ingredients :

50 g self raising flour

100g sugar

 3 eggs

+ you can add any amount of flavour  such as:

1 chopped pear + dash of almond liqueur

chopped cherries and cherry liqueur

orange zest and orange liqueur

Experiment, this is a great basic recipe!

Chef Bio :



Donna Orchard is both the Owner and Chef at Le Moulin Pastelier located in Belesta en Lauragais, France.



Description :



All the guests seem to love this dessert.. it is like the LBD (little black dress) you can dress it up or dress it down. It is so quick and easy to make, cooks in less than 20 minutes so prep ahead (if you remember, if not no biggie, percolate the coffee and by the time that's done the cake will be pretty much done.) Is best served still warm.



Instructions :



OK, so first off you need to melt the butter and chocolate together, the easiest way is in the microwave. 30 second to 1 minute depending on the strength,

Next beat in the 3 eggs, then flour and sugar and your choice of other ingredients.

Pour into a cake tin and bake at 180 c for around 20 minutes, less if you like it gooey in the middle. 

As well as being a great stand alone dessert this can be served as a small slice on a dessert sampler. My favourite is  the banana flavoured one, served with half a poached pear, toffee sauce and a small scoop of creme brulee ice cream, serve a glass of iced Amaretto  on the side - DESSERT HEAVEN
