Method

step 1

Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Butter and line a 20 cm cake tin. Put 175g of the chocolate along with the butter and sugar in a heavy-based pan and heat it gently until everything is melted, stirring occasionally. Leave to cool.
step 2

Whisk the egg yolks into the chocolate mixture, then fold in the flour, ginger and chopped chocolate. Whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks, then gently fold into the chocolate mixture. Pour into the tin and cook for 35-40 minutes until a crust has formed on top. Leave to cool, then loosen from the edge of the tin with a knife and remove from the tin.
step 3

Whisk the cream and fold in the ginger syrup, spoon on top of the cake in big billowing piles and dust with cocoa if you like.
