    Ingredients

    • 185g self-raising flour
    • 250g castor sugar
    • 150g dark chocolate, broken into tiny pieces
    • 85g unsalted butter
    • 3 large eggs, beaten
    • 5ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
    • 50g hazelnuts, roasted, skinned and chopped
    • vanilla ice cream, to serve

    Instructions

    1

    Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease and line a 20cm square cake tin.

    2

    Sieve together the flour and castor sugar.

    3

    Melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water or in the microwave for 90 seconds on high. When just melted, stir gently. Set aside until lukewarm.

    4

    Stir the eggs and vanilla into the chocolate. Fold in the sifted dry ingredients, stirring quickly and lightly until smooth. Fold in the hazelnuts.

    5

    Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake in the oven for 35 minutes. The top and edges will be crusty, the inside slightly gooey.

    6

    Leave in the tin until lukewarm, invert from tin and peel off paper. Allow to cool off and firm up a bit before cutting into squares.

    7

    Serve warm or cold with vanilla ice cream.
