Cake
With marzipan holly leaves and berries and a bright red ribbon, this makes a perfect adult Christmas cake.
Ingredients
250 g (9 oz) slightly salted butter
250 g (9 oz) dark soft brown sugar
4 x size 2 or 3 eggs
20 ml (1 Tbs) golden syrup or honey
150 g (5 oz) carton of natural yogurt
250 g (9 oz) self-raising flour
40 g (1 ½ oz) Cadbury Bournville cocoa
40 g (1 ½ oz) ground almonds or hazelnuts
FOR THE SYRUP
125 g (4 oz) caster sugar
125 ml (¼ pint) water
80 ml (4 tablespoons) dark rum
FOR THE FILLING AND ICING
80 ml (4 tablespoons) cranberry or redcurrant jelly
200 g bar of Cadbury Bournville chocolate
284 ml (½ pint) double cream
20-40 ml (1-2 tablespoons) rum
FOR THE TRUFFLES AND DECORATION
100 g bar of Cadbury Bournville chocolate
25 g (1 oz) slightly salted butter
60 ml (3 Tbs) cream from the icing
25 g (1 oz) ground almonds
50 g (2 oz) icing sugar
75 g (3 oz) sweet biscuits, crushed
40 ml (2 Tbs) rum
50 g (2 oz) glace cherries dusted in sugar
Chocolate leaves
A 25 cm (10-inch), round cake tin, preferably loose-based, greased and base-lined
Make the cake by creaming the butter and sugar together. Gradually beat in the eggs, syrup or honey and yogurt and when well mixed, fold in the sieved flour and cocoa, and then the nuts. Spread the mixture in the tin, hollow out the centre slightly, and bake at Gas Mark 4/180ºC/350ºF for about 1 hour until cooked.
Slowly dissolve the sugar in the water in a pan and then boil briefly to thicken the syrup a little. Cool before adding the rum, and then moisten the warm cake whilst still in the tin. Leave to cool completely before turning out.
Split the cake in half and sandwich it back together with the jelly. Melt the broken-up chocolate with all but 60 ml (3 tablespoons) of cream. When smooth, whisk together. Add the rum. Leave the icing to cool and thicken before spreading it over the cake; place the cake on the serving plate first if you are brave enough! Otherwise, ice it on a board and transfer when set. Make the surface quite smooth.
Now make the truffles by melting 75 g (3 oz) of the chocolate and grating the remainder. Stir all the ingredients into the melted chocolate, mixing well. Leave in the fridge until firm enough to handle fairly easily. Divide the mixture evenly and roll into about 18 balls, tossing them in the grated chocolate. Leave in the fridge until firm.
Decorate the cake with some truffles, frosted cherries and chocolate leaves. Keep cool until required.
Serves about 10

Black Forest Gateau - I know it's sort of gone out of fashion, but it's the BEST combination - moist chocolate cake, luscious fruit (black cherries), whipped cream and chocolate curls - so, something for everyone, all in one cake!
