Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 170C and either use baking paper to line the bottom and sides of a roasting tin approx 30x20x5cm deep, or use a foil mould.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, melt the butter along with the sugars, golden syrup, treacle or molasses, cloves, cinnamon, chili and ground ginger.

Step 3

In a cup dissolve the bicarb of soda in the water.

Step 4

Take the saucepan off the heat and beat in the eggs, milk and bicarb in its water. Stir in the flour and cocoa and beat with a wooden spoon to mix.

Step 5

Fold in the chocolate chips, pour into the lined tin and bake for about 45 minutes-1 hour until risen and firm. It will be slightly damp underneath the set top which is the way you want it.

Step 6

Remove to a wire rack and let cool in the tin. Once cool, remove and slice in half with a serrated knife and make lemon frosting to fill and cherry marshmallow fondant to cover.
