Ingredients:
225g/8oz butter (preferably unsalted)
450g/1lb caster sugar
140g/5oz dark chocolate , broken into pieces
5 free-range medium eggs
110g/4oz plain flour
55g/2oz cocoa powder
50g of praline pieces ( I just bought mine in a shop )
Instructions:
Heat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Line a 20x30cm/8x12in cake tin with baking paper. Gently wipe some veg oil around the inside and dust with cocoa powder.
Gently melt the butter and the sugar together in a large pan. Once melted, take off the heat and add the chocolate. Stir until melted.
Beat in the eggs, then stir in the flour, cocoa powder and praline pieces.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared tin and bake for 40 minutes, or until the top of the cake is just firm but there is still a gentle wobble in the middle.
Take out of the oven and leave to cool in the tin. Cut the cake into wedges when only just warm, or completely cool.
