Ingredients
- 200 g milk chocolate
- Small bowl filled with amaretto
- Small bowl of crushed almonds
- Chocolate ice cream, to serve
- 110 g butter
- 110 g caster sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 110 g self-raising flour
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
Method
- Heat the oven to 170°C (gas 3). Grease and line a cake tin.
- Beat the butter and caster sugar until light, then beat in the eggs gradually. Fold in the self-raising flour and cocoa powder.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared tin and bake for about 25 minutes, until the cake springs back when lightly pressed and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool completely.
- Melt the milk chocolate gently. Cut the cooled cake into bite-size cubes, briefly dip each cube in amaretto and coat it with crushed almonds, then drizzle with melted chocolate.
- Chill the coated cake pieces until firm. Divide them among four sundae glasses with chocolate ice cream and serve promptly.
