Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Line a deep 24cm tart tin with the pastry (roll it as thin as you can). Bake blind for 10 minutes, then remove the paper and weights. Bake for 10 more minutes.
  2. Melt the butter and chocolate. Whisk the eggs and sugar over a pan of simmering water until the mixture holds a trail, then fold in the chocolate mixture, orange juice and zest, and flour. Pour into the tart case and bake for 15-20 minutes or until just set. Cool. Dust with cocoa powder and decorate with slices of candied peel.

    Gave this a whirl. I do have a sweet tooth so made a sweet crust pastry, and served it with some vanilla marscapone cream. Lush.

    This was lovely and moist but next time I wouldn't bother with pastry.I will just use it as a cake mixture splitting it and putting fruit and cream inside.
