Ingredients (serves 6)
200g good-quality dark chocolate, roughly chopped
175g unsalted butter
175g caster sugar
4 eggs
1 cup (150g) self-raising flour, sifted
100g almond meal
1 tsp baking powder, sifted
1/2 cup (125ml) milk
2 Cadbury Flake chocolate bars, crumbled
Chocolate cream
300ml thick cream
150g good-quality dark chocolate, roughly chopped
Method
Preheat oven to 160°C. Grease and line a 20cm springform cake pan.
Place chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water until melted, making sure the bowl does not touch the water.
Stir until smooth and set aside to cool.
Place butter and sugar in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer for about 5 minutes or until pale. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Fold in flour, almond meal, baking powder, milk and melted chocolate.
Pour mixture into cake pan and bake for 45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool slightly, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
For chocolate cream, heat cream over low heat, add chocolate and stir until melted. Chill for about 15 minutes, until thickened but still a little soft.
To serve, spread cream over cooled cake. Decorate the cake with strawberries and kiwi fruits.
