I call it Jeckyl’s blackberry chocolate surprise because the end result really was a surprise – no kidding! And it goes really well with whipped cream. – Jeckyl Suicide
Ingredients
- 100g dark chocolate
- 150g self-raising flour
- 150g plain flour
- 60ml blackberry jam
- 60ml cocoa powder
- 60ml buttermilk
- 4 large eggs
- 2 table spoons coffee powder
- 200g baking margeriene
- 200g sugar (this sounds like a lot but the dark chocolate and coffee make it really bitter)
Directions:
1. Start by preheating your oven to 180 degrees (celsius).
2. Wash your hands thoroughly. (I’m big on hygiene!)
3. In a clean bowl, sift together all your dry ingredients (flour, sugar, cocoa powder).
4. In a pan, boil 3 quarters of a cup of water. Add the margeriene, coffee powder, and dark chocolate, and mix until they’ve all melted and it’s a smooth syrup. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
5. in a seperate bowl, cream together the eggs and buttermilk.
6. Make a well in the centre of your dry ingredients and stir in the buttermilk/egg mixture.
7. Once the coffee syrup had cooled add it to the other ingredients. (Make sure it’s not hot or the eggs will curdle and then you’ll have to start ALL over again. Seriously.)
8. The result should be a very runnny and dark looking dough. Like this:
9. Grease up a cake tin of your choosing. Preferably a large one cause it’s a pretty big mixture. I chose this one.
10. Place on a baking tray in the oven and allow to bake for approximaltely one hour. DON’T open the oven before it’s fully risen otherwise it’ll flop and turn hard like an oversized cookie.
11. Remove from oven and allow to cool before turning over onto a dish. I was impatient with mine and tried tp flip it while it was hot then it broke. So BE PATIENT!
12. Dust with icing sugar and add cherries to make it look pretty.
Ta-da!!
