Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 8 people

Ingredients
  

  • 300 g margarine/unsalted butter
  • 225 g dark cooking chocolate good quality (I use Green and Blacks)
  • 300 g caster sugar
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 105 g plain flour
  • 32 g cocoa powder
  • 300 ml double cream
  • 1 jar raspberry curd
  • 1 punnet raspberries
  • 1 punnet strawberries
  • 1 tbsp icing sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F / gas 4. Prepare your tins - line and grease them well using butter. I use three 6 inch tins.
  • Place the butter in a heatproof bowl along with the dark chocolate. Place a small amount of boiling water into a saucepan and rest the heatproof bowl with the butter and chocolate on top, then melt the contents on a low heat. You don't want the water to boil. Once melted set aside.
  • Add the sugar and eggs to your electric mixer then whisk for about two minutes until your mixture is slightly frothy.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture into the bowl and whisk in for a few minutes until all of your mixture is all combined.
  • Sift the flour and cocoa powder into your mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until your mixture is all combined.
  • Put the mixture into the prepared lined tins. Pour the mixture out evenly. Carefully place the in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Take your cakes out of the oven. To see if they are cooked place a metal skewer into the middle and it should come out clean. Leave the cakes to cool.
  • While your cakes are cooling whip your double cream up.
  • Once the cakes are cool alternate the layers with raspberry curd and double cream and place on top of each other.
  • Decorate with fresh raspberries and strawberries then dust with icing sugar.
  • Serve and enjoy!
