Chocolate Slump Cake

This is a very old, very English recipe that we adore! The combination of chocolate and orange is classic and this cake is incredibly hard to resist. Don’t forget to enter our contest before 6:30 PM on December 12th.

Ingredients:

• About 1/3 of a jar Mackays Vintage Dundee Orange Marmalade *
• ½ cup plus 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
• 2/3 cup butter
• 1 cup dark chocolate, chopped *
• 4 Eggs, separated
• ½ cup Dutch process cocoa powder *
• Pinch of salt
• Icing sugar, for dusting
• *Available from Well Seasoned

Instructions:

1. Pre-heat your oven to 375. Line the base & sides of a 9” round baking pan with baking paper.
2. Put the marmalade into a food processor & blitz until slushy. Add the sugar & mix again until the sugar has merged with the marmalade.
3. Put the butter into a pot & melt on a gentle heat. Add the chocolate & remove from the heat - allow this to sit for 2-3 minutes before stirring.
4. Add the marmalade & sugar mixture and transfer to a large bowl. Beat the egg yolks into the chocolate mixture, then add the cocoa powder. Next, beat the egg whites & the pinch of salt together until it hits the soft peak stage.
5. Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture as gently as you can, to keep all the air in the mixture.
6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, smooth the top & bake for 30 minutes or until the centre has risen and set.
7. Remove from the oven & allow to cool in the tin for at least 15 minutes.
8. Remove it carefully, peel off the paper and serve, dusted with icing sugar.
