Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease and line the base and sides of a deep, 22cm loose-bottomed tin with baking parchment, so the paper comes about 2.5cm above the sides. Stir the Earl Grey tea into the hot milk.

  • step 2

    Melt the chocolate, butter and a pinch of salt together in a bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Then stir in the ground almonds, followed by the egg yolks and milky tea, including the leaves. Beat the egg whites until stiff, then beat in the caster sugar until stiff-ish again. Fold the whites through the chocolate mix and scrape into the tin. Bake for 30-35 mins – it should still have a slight wobble. Then cool completely in the tin.

  • step 3

    Carefully remove from the tin and lift onto a serving plate. Dust all over with cocoa and icing sugar, then serve in slices with crème fraîche or cream.

I just made this for a dinner with friends this evening served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Rave reviews from everyone including me. Rich, moist and delicious. I put 3 earl grey tea bags in and no one noticed the flavor even when asked. Maybe it adds to the complexity of the flavor in…

This is the perfect chocolate dessert, serve with some fruit on the side. I’ve made it so many times, always a hit.
