I love this chocolate cake, which is made with what are essentially store cupboard ingredients. It's ideal as a dessert or for a tea and can be baked in advance, althought do not add the topping until just before serving. Don’t be tempted to use ground almonds instead of the blanched as it does give the cake a better texture.
