    100g Waitrose continental plain chocolate, chopped
    35g Truvia calorie-free sweetener (stevia granules)
    50g light brown muscovado 
sugar
    1 tbsp instant cofee granules

    75g Duchy Originals from Waitrose organic brown self-raising flour

    1. Heat the oven to 190°C, gas mark 5. Melt three-quarters of the chocolate in a large heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water. Remove from the heat and stir in the sweetener, muscovado sugar and cofee granules. Set aside to cool slightly.

    2. In a small bowl, beat together the egg, buttermilk and mayonnaise, then stir into the cooled chocolate mixture. Scatter in the remaining chopped chocolate. Sift over the cocoa powder, flour and bicarbonate of soda, and gently stir together.

    Cook's tip
    Stevia is a natural sweetener derived from the leaves of the stevia plant. It has a very low calorie count and is much sweeter than sugar. In this recipe, we’ve replaced 100g sugar with 35g Truvia sweetener. Other forms of stevia, such as crystals or cubes, vary in sweetness per gram and cannot be interchanged with the granules used here.
