1¼ cups (150g) almond meal (ground almonds)
¼ cup (25g) cocoa powder
50g dark chocolate, grated

Recipe



Preheat the oven to moderately slow (160°C/140°C fan-forced). Grease 8 friand tins, line the bases with baking paper.

Beat butter and sugar in a small bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add almond meal, sifted cocoa and chocolate, mix until just combined.

Add eggs one at a time, beating well between additions. Stir in combined polenta and milk.

Divide mixture among prepared tins. Bake in a moderately slow oven for about 30 minutes or until cooked when tested. Turn onto a wire rack to cool slightly.

CHOCOLATE SAUCE: Meanwhile, combine chocolate and cream in a heatproof bowl; stir over a pan of simmering water until chocolate is melted.

Serve cakes warm with warm Chocolate Sauce.
