Ingredients

  • 1 Tblsp unsalted butter
  • 2 Tblsp castor sugar
  • 1/3 cup cake flour
  • 2 Tblsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Pinch of Oryx desert salt
  • 1 cup Full cream milk
  • 0.5 cup sugar

  • 450g fresh raspberries
  • 85g 70% dark chocolate, roughly chopped

Method

  1. Use a 25cm cast iron skillet or baking dish, butter the dish and then sprinkle with castor sugar so that the castor sugar forms a thin layer.
  2. Preheat the oven to 200˚C.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder and Oryx desert salt. Set aside.
  4. In a blender, add milk, sugar, eggs and vanilla essence. Blend until smooth, about 20 seconds. Add the flour mixture and pulse until just incorporated, about 5 – 7 pulses.
  5. Add the raspberries to the baking dish and arrange them in a single layer. Pour the batter over the raspberries.
  6. Top with the chocolate chunks. Bake in the oven until puffed around the edges and set in the center, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes before serving. It will sink slightly as it cools.
  7. Enjoy with Leopard’s Leap Shiraz.
