- Line a kitchen parchment sheet on the cake pan.
- I am using a paper form a printer which is taller than the sides of the cake pan.
- Sift cake flour and cocoa together.
- Preheat the oven to 160C.
- Put chocolate and butter in a bowl and melt it over hot water.
- Add heavy cream and brandy to Step 3 and keep it on hot water so it doesn't cool.
