Chocolate & Cherry Tray Bake

A delicious warm melt-in-your-mouth dessert with the indulgence of velvety chocolate mud cake teamed with the slight tartness of morello cherries.

Ingredients

• 1x Dark Chocolate Mud Cake Mix
• 1x jar of morello cherries
• 1x foil tray (makes life very easy)
• Cherry Sauce

  • Reserve liquid from cherries plus a small amount of the cherries

  • 1 tbsp cornflour
  • 2 tbsp sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 160 degrees
2. Mix mud cake as per packet instructions.
3. Pour into your foil tray.
4. Drain all of the liquid from your cherries (reserve the liquid and a small handful of cherries as we will make a beautiful cherry sauce with it later)
5. Scatter the cherries over the top of your mud cake and bake for 40 minutes.
6. While it is cooking we can make our cherry sauce. Put the reserved cherry liquid and the handful of cherries into a saucepan. Add 2 tbsp of sugar and 1 tbsp of cornflour. Whisk to combine. Bring to a steady rolling boil for 10 to 15 minutes. You will notice it reduces and slightly thickens. Don't panic if it is thin - it will thicken a little more as it cools.
7. Serve your Chocolate and Cherry tray bake warm from the oven. Add ice cream or cream and top with your cherry sauce.
