Chocolate Layer

Raspberry Compote

Blue Cheese Crumble

Method

Chocolate Layer

1

Melt the Chocolate

In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and butter. Place it over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method) and stir until melted and smooth.

2

Mix in Sugar and Eggs

Remove the bowl from heat and whisk in the sugar until well combined. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.

3

Add Flour and Vanilla

Sift the flour into the chocolate mixture and fold gently until just combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4

Bake the Chocolate Layer

Pour the batter into a greased and lined 9-inch round cake tin. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool completely.

Raspberry Compote

5

Prepare the Compote

In a saucepan, combine the fresh raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes.

6

Cool the Compote

Remove from heat and let the raspberry compote cool to room temperature. It will thicken further as it cools.

Blue Cheese Crumble

7

Prepare the Blue Cheese Crumble

In a small bowl, crumble the blue cheese and mix in the chopped walnuts. Drizzle with honey and mix until well combined.
