Method

  1. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter 2 x 150ml dariole moulds, scatter in the flaked almonds so they stick to the base and sides and put on a small baking tray. Beat the butter, sugar, egg, flour, ground almonds and cocoa powder together, then divide between the moulds. Bake for 20-25 mins until a skewer comes out clean.
  2. Meanwhile, for the sauce, melt all the ingredients in a small pan and keep warm.
  3. Carefully turn the cakes out of their moulds and sit on 2 plates (the same way up as they baked). Serve with vanilla ice cream, the hot chocolate sauce, espressos and a splash more Disaronno.

    Absolutely delicious, I used ramekins and they came out fine. I also left out the alcohol but the sauce was still gorgeous. Definitely making this again!

    Made this as a post valentine dessert and it was lovely! I doubled the recipe to save some for my inlaws and I added more cocoa because hubby and I like it really chocolatey. Then I topped it with dessicated coconut before putting in the oven. It was really yummy!

    I made these for Valentine �s Day and they were very nice! Quite rich and mine were a little heavy but they have a gorgeous almond flavour and the sauce went really well with the ice-cream.
