  • Add eggs and fold in flour to slightly cooled mixture.
  • Cook on high with tea towel under lid for 1.5-2h depending on sc or until skewer inserted comes out clean
  • FOR GANACHE
  • Place chopped chocolate in a bowl and place baileys, cream and salt in a pot and bring to the boil then pour over chocolate and let sit for 1 minute. Gently stir and add butter, stir until chocolate is melted.
  • Set aside at room temperature to cool, stirring occasionally, until ganache is thick and spreadable or place in the fridge and stir occasionally.
  • Feel free to use all Baileys if you prefer it boozier. Alternatively you could just use all cream for a virgin ganache 🙂
