It can be served just as it is with a cup of tea or coffee or with cream or ice cream for an indulgent dessert!

If you prefer, you can add an additional 30g Brandy in the batter to have a stonger brandy flavour.

Please use good quality chocolate for a greater result.

Can also be made with white chocolate and white choc ganache - Yummy!
