Chocolate & Ginger Cake
Chocolate and ginger are the perfect combination in this cake
Servings: 8
Ingredients
Cake
- 2 oz ginger thin biscuits
- 4 oz almonds
- 7 oz sugar
- 4 oz butter
- 4 eggs - free range please
- 6 oz dark chocolate
- Zest of 1 orange
Boozy Whipped Cream
- 300 g pot double cream
- 1 tbs brandy
- 2 tbs icing sugar
Instructions
Cake
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4, grease the tin and line the base with greaseproof paper.
- Put the biscuits, almonds and sugar into the food processor (I use a Magimix) and blitz until all are finely ground, add the butter and eggs and blitz again.
- Meanwhile break the chocolate up into a bowl and stand over a saucepan of just simmering water until melted.
- Add the melted chocolate and orange zest to the food processor and pulse briefly until mixed. Pour the batter into the cake tin.
- Bake for about 35 minutes - when ready the cake would have risen and would have started to crack at the top and round the edges. Leave to cool for 5 mins then run a knife round to separate it from the tin, then release the clip. When cold you can transfer it to a plate.
- Serve dusted with cocoa powder or icing sugar and lots of whipped cream.
Boozy Whipped Cream
- Bung in a bowl and whip with a hand blender.
