Ingredients

• 250 grams unsalted butter
• 200 grams dark chocolate
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 1.5 cups plain flour
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 large eggs
• 0.75 cup whole milk
• 4 bars Mars Bars
• 0.5 cup heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake tin with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and dark chocolate together, stirring frequently, until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

Chop 3 of the Mars Bars into small pieces and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, white sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder until well combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs and then mix in the milk. Gradually fold the egg mixture into the dry ingredients.

Step 6

Pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the batter and gently fold until smooth. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Stir in the chopped Mars Bars, ensuring they are evenly distributed through the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake for 60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

While the cake is cooling, make the ganache. Chop the remaining Mars Bar into small pieces.

Step 11

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped Mars Bar. Stir until melted and smooth.

Step 12

Pour the ganache over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides for a rustic effect.

Step 13

Optional: Garnish with extra chopped Mars Bars or a dusting of cocoa powder. Slice and serve!
