Prep: 20 mins
Cook: 45 mins
Easy Makes 12
Ingredients
80g vegan margarine, plus extra for greasing
2 tbsp ground flaxseed
120g dark chocolate
½ tsp coffee granules
125g self-raising flour
70g ground almond
50g cocoa powder
¼ tsp baking powder
250g golden caster sugar
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
70g glacé cherry (rinsed and halved)
Method
Step 1 Heat oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 31⁄2. Grease and line a 20cm
square tin with baking parchment. Combine the flaxseed with 6
tbsp water and set aside for at least 5 mins.
Step 2 In a saucepan, melt the chocolate, coffee and margarine with
60ml water on a low heat. Allow to cool slightly.
Step 3 Put the flour, almonds, cocoa, baking powder and 1⁄4 tsp salt in a
bowl and stir to remove any lumps. Using a hand whisk, mix the
sugar into the melted chocolate mixture, and beat well until
smooth and glossy, ensuring all the sugar is well dissolved. Stir in
the flaxseed mixture and vanilla extract, the cherries and then the
flour mixture. It will now be very thick. Stir until combined and
spoon into the prepared tin. Bake for 35-45 mins until a skewer
inserted in the middle comes out clean with moist crumbs. Allow
to cool in the tin completely, then cut into squares. Store in an
airtight container and eat within 3 days.
