- 225g fromage frais
- 50g icing sugar
- 175g plain chocolate, melted
- 1 x 175g chocolate Madeira cake
- 4 tbsp brandy
- Chocolate shavings and cocoa powder, to decorate, optional
Instructions
- Beat the mascarpone and fromage frais in a bowl until smooth. Then sift in the sugar and beat in.

- Place half of the chocolate mixture in a greased and lined 450g/1lb loaf tin, and level with the back of a spoon.
- Slice the cake into 1cm thick slices. Lay half the slices on top of the chocolate mixture in an even layer; break up the pieces to fill any gaps. Sprinkle over 2 tbsp of the brandy.
