I use:


4oz butter or margerine


4oz sugar


2 eggs


4oz self-raising flour


2oz plain cooking chocolate





Melt the chocolate and butter. Mix in the sugar and leave to cool. Add the eggs and flour. Bake at 200C for around 20 mins. Unite with butter icing (which I can't remember quantities for, but it is just cocoa powder, icing sugar and butter) or chocolate spread. Decorate with anything chocolate, I like to use buttons or smarties.

5 ml (1 teaspoon) vanilla essence


40 ml (2 tablespoons) rum


50 g bar of Cadbury Bournville chocolate


75 g (3 oz) blanched almonds

40 ml (2 tablespoons) rum


4 Cadbury Flakes from the family box





A 20 cm (8-inch), round, deep cake tin, greased and base-lined, a piping bag and star pipe





Work the cake crumbs in a food processor or blender so that they are quite fine. Whisk the egg yolks, essence and rum together well until pale in colour. Fold in the cake crumbs, grated chocolate, chopped nuts and crumbled Flake. Whisk the egg whites stiffly, add the sugar and continue whisking until as stiff again. Fold both mixtures together then turn into the tin and level the top. Bake at Gas Mark 4/180潞C/350潞F for about 1 hour 10 minutes, until cooked through. Leave briefly before turning out to cool.





Slice the cake evenly into three. Whip the cream, sieved icing sugar and rum together until stiff enough to spread. Put some into the piping bag, and sandwich the cake back together with the remaining cream, also covering the top. Pipe 8 whirls of cream, stick half a Flake into each and lift the cake on to a plate.
