Ingredients
- 100g butter, chopped
- 200g dark chocolate
- 4 eggs
- 250g golden caster sugar
- 100g plain flour

- 30g coco

Method

- Melt the butter and chocolate together in a microwave for 30 seconds at full power, or in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
- Cool to room temperature. Beat the eggs and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the Sacla' Pesto and the chillies to the chocolate mixture stirring well.
- Fold the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and sift in the flour, baking powder and cocoa. Fold this in to give a fudgy batter.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the top is cracked but the middle is still gooey. Cool completely, then lift out of the tin and cut.
