Turn cooking mode on

Step 1

First get your chocolate melted in a bowl over a bain-marie. Remove this from the heat and allow it to cool. Get your butter into your mixing bowl, along with your sugar and beat these until pale and creamy. Midway through give the sides a wee scrape down so it's fully incorporated. Add your vanilla and beat this throughout the mixture.

Does it have to be dark chocolate? Can you use melted milk chocolate

With the rest of the ingredients it doesn’t have that rich dark chocolate taste mate 🙌🏼 It works best with the dark chocolate and for the consistency! But if you prefer you could use milk chocolate, it will just differ a bit 👍🏼

We would have used an 8 inch cake tin mate 👍🏼 If you have one roughly that size you’ll be sweet! Just keep an eye on it, as a different sized tin can vary the baking time! The best thing to do is insert a skewer nearing the end. If it comes out clean or even has a few wee dry crumbs you’re good 🙌🏼
