Dark & squidgy chocolate torte
This dessert is dark and dense, but not so rich it defeats you. It freezes brilliantly too

- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter and line the base and sides of a 23cm springform or loose-bottomed cake tin. Put the butter and chocolate into a pan and gently melt together until smooth. Meanwhile, using an electric whisk, beat the eggs and sugar together for 5 mins until billowy and about the thickness of old-fashioned custard.
- Pour the chocolate and butter mix into the whisked egg and sugar, then fold it in very carefully using a large metal spoon. Mix the flour, almonds and ¼ tsp salt together, then fold into the mix until even. Spoon into the tin and bake for 35-40 mins until evenly set with a slight crust all over the top. Leave the cake to cool until warm, then release from the tin. Dust with cocoa, then cut into wedges.
Serving suggestions
Try with Mascarpone & marmalade ice cream (see 'Goes well with'), Sherry-soaked raisins, raspberries and fresh cream, or poached pears and chocolate sauce.
