Chocolatier’s Tip
Try to use the most seasonal fruits: cherries, blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, blackcurrants, redcurrants and raspberries all work well.

- 400 g light brown sugar
- 250 ml sunflower oil
- 2 large eggs
- 50 g Lindt EXCELLENCE 70% Cocoa Dark Chocolate, melted
- 240 g plain flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- Pinch of salt
- 150 g LINDOR Salted Caramel Truffles, unwrapped and chopped

Method
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C/160 Fan. Generously grease, and lightly dust with flour, a 3 L Bundt tin - make sure you get into all the ridges otherwise it will be difficult to turn out from the tin.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the coffee and cocoa powder; set aside.
-
Using an electric mixer, beat together the sugar with the oil until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down sides after each addition. Beat in the melted chocolate.
-
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt; mix into the egg mixture in batches, alternating with the coffee mix between additions.
-
Fold in the chopped LINDOR Salted Caramel Truffles.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre of the Bundt ring comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to finish cooling completely.
-
Meanwhile, make the dark chocolate ganache: pour the cream into a saucepan and slowly bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and pour into a heat-proof bowl. Add the finely chopped chocolate and stir until smooth and glossy. Leave to cool for 10 minutes or until thick enough to drip off a spoon.
-
Set the cooled cake onto a flat plate. Pour over the glaze and leave to stand for 30 minutes. Decorate with fresh berries and sprigs of fresh mint.
