Happy Sunday!
This Divine Rich Chocolate Cake recipe is from my 2nd cookbook, Rachelā€™s Favourite Food For Friends (published in 2005), that I come back to time & time again. This is a super quick to make and completely delicious cake thatā€™s a bit brownie-like, a bit moussey-like, and can be made using ground almonds or flour, so super versatile. And, it keeps for ages, if you can keep it!
I made 2 this morning, one for home and one for a friendā€™s (belated) birthday!
Hereā€™s the recipe below!
Serves 6-8
A little soft butter, for greasing the tin
150g dark chocolate, chopped
125g butter
150g caster sugar
3 eggs, whisked to break up
50g ground almonds or plain flour

For the Chocolate Glaze:
110g dark chocolate , chopped
2 tbsp milk or cream
50g butter

Preheat the oven to 160ā€™C/Fan 145.
Butter the sides of a 20cm round cake tin (or spring form tin ) and line the bottom with grease proof or parchment paper.
Place the chocolate, butter and sugar in a bowl sitting over a saucepan of simmering water, and melt. Stir until smooth then beat in the eggs and fold in the ground almonds or sifted flour. Feel free to add orange zest, vanilla, sea salt, cardamom, ginger etc!
Pour the mixture into the cake tin and bake for 35-45 minutes until the centre feels just set in the centre, but it will still be gorgeously moist. Allow to cool in the tin .
To make the chocolate glaze , melt all the ingredients together and stir until smooth, allow to cool a little until it has thickened slightly ( about 10 minutes) but do not place in the fridge as it will lose itā€™s glossy sheen .
Take the cooled cake out of the tin and place on a plate or cake stand , and pour the glaze over the top , letting it drizzle down the sides.

Ingredients (Serves 4)
2 Simply Better Irish Corn Fed Chicken Fillets
2 Simply Better Irish Free Range Corn Fed Large eggs
2 Tbsp. Simply Better Organic Irish Jersey Milk
150g Simply Better Rustic Ciabatta Breadcrumbs
50g Simply Better Parmigiano Reggiano grated, plus extra to garnish
2 Tbsp. Simply Better Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tub Simply Better Italian Mozzarella, cut into 4 slices
1 Jar Simply Better Italian Tomato & Mascarpone Pasta Sauce
25g Butter
75g Plain Flour
A small handful of fresh basil leaves

To serve:
300g Simply Better Italian Bronze Die Spaghetti, cooked
Mixed Leaf Salad

DIRECTIONS
1. Place the chicken on a chopping board and cut each fillet in half lengthways. Spread them out and cover with parchment paper, then bash with a rolling pin until they are about 1cm thick.

2. Put the flour in a dish and season generously with salt and pepper. Put the eggs in a separate dish with the milk and season, then beat lightly with a fork. Put the breadcrumbs and Parmesan into a third dish, stirring to combine. Dust each chicken escalope in the seasoned flour, then dip into the beaten eggs and finally coat it in the breadcrumbs. Arrange on a plate.

3. Preheat the oven to 180Ā°C (350Ā°F/gas mark 4).

4. Heat the oil and butter in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Cook the escalopeā€™s for 2 minutes on each side, until crisp and golden. Pour half of the tomato sauce on a baking tray or into a baking dish, then add the chicken. Spoon a little of the sauce on each one and top with a piece of mozzarella and a spoon of pesto. Transfer to the oven and cook for 10-12 minutes, until the mozzarella is bubbling.

5. Garnish the chicken with some fresh basil and serve straight to the table with a bowl of spaghetti and a bowl of salad so everyone can help themselves.
