Donna Hay's Ultimate Chocolate Dessert Cake
I know this is a cake, but it's dark, delectable and very, very delicious. It's DH's favourite dessert and is great served with ice cream or cream with a few berries on the side!
Serves 10
Ingredients:
125g butter, chopped
375g dark chocolate, broken into pieces
175g brown sugar
35g plain flour, sifted
2 tablespoons milk
120g almonds
5 eggs
Cocoa or icing sugar, for dusting
Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 170 C/150 C fan-forced. Grease and line the base of a 22cm round springform tin and line the base with baking paper.
2. Mill the almonds for 8-10 seconds on speed 7. Set aside.
3. Put the chocolate into the TM bowl and set to the *: and blitz twice on Turbo. Grate for 5-10 seconds on speed 8.
4. Add the butter to the bowl and melt for 5 minutes at 60C on speed 2.
5. Add the sugar, flour, milk and almond meal and mix for 15 seconds on speed 4.
6. Add the eggs and mix for 15 seconds on speed 4.
7. Pour mixture into prepared tin. Cover the tin with aluminium foil and bake for 40-50 minutes. The cake might look a bit wet on the top but don’t worry, it will firm up as it cools.
8.Uncover and cool in the tin, then in the fridge. Dust with icing sugar or cocoa and serve with ice cream and berries or cherries.

Tips/Hints:
The original recipe says 40 minutes but it always takes at least 50 in my oven. It's not like a regular cake, when a tester is inserted it might still be a little soggy and maybe have a few wet spots on top. If you cook it until it's "dry" it will lose it's moist fudginess which makes it so irresistible!
