This cake is brownie-like, but gooier, so the best way to transport it is in its tin: don’t fret – it will soon go

MAKES 9 BIG SQUARES

  • 200g softened unsalted butter
  • 200g golden caster sugar
  • 3 medium eggs
  • 100g ground almonds
  • 100g plain flour
  • 25g cocoa sifted
  • 2 tsp baking powder sifted
  • 2 tbsp dark rum
  • 100g dark chocolate chips

  1. Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and butter a 23cm square cake or brownie tin. Place the butter, sugar, eggs, ground almonds, flour, cocoa and baking powder into a large bowl and cream together. Then add the rum and fold in two-thirds of the chocolate chips.
  2. Spoon the cake mixture into the prepared tin, smoothing the surface, and scatter over the remaining chocolate chips. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until it feels dry and firm in the centre and an inserted skewer comes out clean. 
  3. Run a knife around the edge and leave to cool. Wrap foil around the tin to transport, otherwise it can be cut into quarters and stacked with paper or plastic in between the layers.
