Sophie Dahl's Flourless Chocolate Cake Recipe.

Ingredients; Butter for greasing, 300g of broken plain chocolate, 225g Caster Sugar, 180ml of boiling water, 225g salted butter (cut into cubes), 6 eggs (free range always better) separated obviously, 1tsp of instant coffee powder, 1tbsp of vanilla extract, strawberries, raspberries, cherries, (whatever fruit you want really) and finally, 200ml of creme fraiche.

What to do;

1.Grease and line the base of a solid-bottomed 23cm/9inch round cake tin (a springform is best).

2.Preheat the oven to 180ºC/160ºC fan/gas 4.

3.In a large food processor pulse the chocolate and sugar until fine. Add the boiling water, butter, egg yolks, coffee powder and vanilla extract.

4.In a glass bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff and then fold them into the chocolate mixture.

5.Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin and bake in the hot oven for about 45 - 55 minutes. The top will be cracked like a desert fault line.

6.After you take the cake out of the oven it will collapse into itself quite a bit. This is ok - its not meant to be a proud cool cake, its meant to be slightly rough around the edges and the crème fraiche and berries will hide any dips and cracks.

7.Let the cake cool, then put it in the fridge for a few hours. When you are ready to serve, remove from the tin, smother the top in crème fraiche, then raspberries, strawberries and redcurrants (or blueberries, blackcurrants and blackberries). You can also grate some more chocolate on top or dust some icing sugar.

~Good Luck~ I've also decided to post a different recipe every week! So, don't go anywhere!!!!
