Ingredients
125g butter, plus extra for greasing
Cocoa powder, for dusting
200g dark chocolate, chopped
4 British Blacktail Free Range Medium Eggs, 2 whole and 2 yolks
100g caster sugar
25g plain flour
75g cherries, pitted and chopped, plus extra to serve
Pouring cream, to serve
Method
Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark
6. Liberally butter 8 mini pudding moulds
or large dariole moulds and lightly dust the
insides with cocoa powder. This means
the puddings will be easier to turn out
once they are cooked. Cut a small circle
of baking parchment, the same size as the
base of each mould, and place inside each one
to stop the top of the pudding from sticking.
Melt the chocolate and butter together
in a large heatproof bowl set over a pan
of barely simmering water. Stir until the
mixture is smooth.
Crack the 2 whole eggs and add the 2 yolks
into another large bowl, then add the sugar.
Use a handheld electric beater to whisk the
mixture until thick, fluffy and very pale. Fold
in the melted chocolate using a spatula, then
sieve over the flour and mix well to combine.
Place a spoonful of the mixture into each
of the prepared moulds. Add a spoonful of
cherries to the centre of each one. Cover with
the remaining mixture – the moulds should be
about ²/³ full. You can chill the puddings for up
to 2 days at this stage.
Bake the puddings for 8-10 minutes. When
ready, there should be a thin crust on the top
but the centre should still have a slight wobble.
Leave the puddings to stand for 2 minutes
before turning out – I run a small palette knife
around the inside of each mould to loosen it
slightly first. Serve dusted with extra cocoa
powder, if liked, a generous pouring of cream
and a few extra cherries.
Cook’s tip
If they do not turn out properly, or you want to play it safe, you can always serve the puddings in the mould and just dive straight in with a spoon.
