Chocolate Mousse Cake

Ingredients:

500g dark chocolate (I only had 400g, and it still worked perfectly, so you decide)

2 tbs golden syrup

125g unsalted butter

4 eggs

1 tbs caster sugar

1 tbs plain flour, sifted

Melted chocolate, to decorate if you feel like getting fancy

Directions:

Preheat oven to 220°C.

Grease and line the base of a 20cm round spring-form cake pan with non-stick baking paper.

Melt the chocolate, golden syrup and butter in a bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water. Set aside to cool slightly.

Place eggs and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer or use an electric hand beater and beat on high for 10 minutes until very thick and pale.

Gently fold in the flour then fold in the chocolate mixture until combined.

Pour into the cake pan and bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 12 minutes.

Remove from oven and run a knife around the edge of the cake.

Remove collar from cake pan and transfer the cake to the fridge for 1 hour to cool (this step is important as it sets the middle of the cake).

Serve with ice-cream and decorate with melted chocolate if desired.
