1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup cocoa powder, sifted

1/2 cup warm strong black coffee

85 gram dark chocolate, chopped, melted

1/2 cup chopped pitted dates

1/3 cup plain flour

Method

1.Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C. Lightly spray a 12-hole muffin pan with oil.

2.In a large bowl, combine sugar and cocoa. Stir in coffee and chocolate until smooth. Add dates, flour, almond meal and egg yolks.

3.In a small, clean bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold egg whites lightly into chocolate mixture.

4.Spoon mixture evenly between recesses in prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked when tested with a skewer.

5.Meanwhile, to make coffee syrup; combine sugar and water in a small saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, without stirring, 10-15 minutes until syrup has thickened. Stir in coffee. Serve cakes with coffee syrup and ice-cream.

When making syrup, ensure sugar has dissolved before it comes to the boil, then simmer, without stirring, to prevent crystallisation.
