Conor’s leftover bread chocolate cake

Ingredients
400g stale bread
140g brown sugar
60g cocoa powder
10g baking powder, sieved
2 large free-range eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
300ml milk
100g chocolate pieces
To decorate:
300g chocolate
300ml full fat cream
a selection of fresh berries to garnish

Method
Preheat your oven to 150°C and line an 8-inch round cake tin with parchment.
Break the bread into pieces and put in a blender, blend until it becomes breadcrumbs. Add the sugar, cocoa powder and the baking powder and pulse until mixed through.
Add the eggs, vanilla and milk, blend until it becomes a cake batter.
Scoop the batter into your prepared tin and sprinkle over the chocolate pieces.
Bake for 20 minutes. Once cool enough to handle place onto a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the ganache slowly heat your cream, but don’t let it boil. After two minutes, pour the cream over the chocolate and let sit for two minutes then slowly whisk the cream and chocolate until totally combined, allow to cool to room temperature.
Pour the ganache over the cake until completely covered. Place in the fridge to set.
Garnish with fresh berries and enjoy.
