We asked our friend and famous Melbourne Baker Michael James for a delicious and ‘soul hugging’ winter dessert recipe and what can we say - he sure has delivered! Like with many of his creations, this tart is focusing on highlighting the flavours of its ‘hero’ ingredient –being in this case our Grand Cru 75% dark chocolate.
View Recipe"We are a chocolate cake loving family and this recipe is our go-to. It’s a quick and simple cake for all occasions. First made for a last-minute dinner party, it’s also perfect for a kids’ birthday, or purely for the pleasure of enjoying cake on the weekend! Don’t worry too much about underbaking this one. You’re aiming for a fudgy, almost brownie-like texture to the cake crumb." — Michael James
