Serves: 16
Time to make: 40 mins
Hands-on time: 10 mins
Ingredients
- 1 cup apple purée
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅓ cup castor sugar
- ¾ cup plain or milk chocolate, chopped
- ¾ cup white chocolate, chopped
- ½ cup pecans, chopped
- icing sugar, to dust
Instructions
1 Preheat the oven to 180ºC/fan 160ºC/gas 4, then line a 20x20cm baking tin with baking paper and set aside.
2 Pour the apple purée into a mixing bowl then sift in the cocoa, flour and bicarbonate of soda. Add the sugar and 2 tablespoons water, then mix until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped chocolate and pecans.
