  3. Pour in the cooled, melted chocolate and whisk till proportionately mixed.
  4. Sift the plain flour and cocoa pwdr again and mix in till thoroughly mixed. The mix at this stage will be quite stiff and paste like. Stir in the lowfat milk.
  5. Whisk the egg whites till stiff and forms peaks. Mix 1-2 Tbsp. of egg white into the chocolate mix to help loosen the mix. Carefully mix in the remaining egg white in batches with a large metal spoon retaining as much volume as possible. Don't over mix.
  6. Spoon into the greased tin. Place into the preheated oven on the middle shelf and bake for 25-30 min till risen and the surface is hard to the touch.
  7. Run a knife around the cake to loosen and turn out onto a wire rack to cold. Clean the ring tin.
  8. To make the syrup, place the water and sugar in a small saucepan.
  9. Heat gently, stirring till the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the liqueur and leave to cold.
  10. When the cake is cold, place back into the tin and prick all over the surface with a fine skewer. Spoon over the syrup, cover and leave to soak, preferably overnight.
  11. To make the chocolate ganache, pour the cream into a large mixing bowl. Break the chocolate into small cubes and add in to the cream. Set the bowl over a pan of simmering water and stirring occasionally till the chocolate has melted. Stir well or possibly lightly whisk to blend together.
  12. Allow the ganache mix to cold for at least 1-2 hrs.
  13. Whip the ganache till pale and thick. Turn the cake out onto a serving plate and spread over the chocolate ganache to completely cover the cake. Peak or possibly swirl the ganache to give an attractive finish.

  17. Place the leaves on a sheet of greaseproof paper on a tray at cold room temperature and leave to set.
