Marinate and soak for 20 minutes.
Ingredients:
  • Melted butter, to grease
  • 145g (3/4 cup) raisins
  • 30.00 ml Cointreau liqueur
  • 5.30 gm fresh orange juice
  • 1 x 520g sliced raisin loaf
  • 40g butter
  • 150g good-quality dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 5 eggs, lightly whisked
  • 250ml (1 cup) cream
  • 160ml (2/3 cup) milk
  • 4.40 gm vanilla essence
  • 1 tsp finely grated orange rind
  • Icing sugar mixture, to dust
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C. Brush a 20cm square cake pan with melted butter, then line the base and two sides with non-stick baking paper. In a bowl, mix raisins, Cointreau, and orange juice, and let it sit for 10 minutes to enhance the flavors. Enjoy the delicious aroma as the ingredients meld together.
  • Spread each slice of bread generously with butter, then cut in half crossways. Place one-third of the buttered bread slices over the base of the prepared pan. Scatter half of the raisin mixture and half of the chocolate evenly over the bread. Layer half of the remaining buttered bread slices on top, then sprinkle with the remaining raisin mixture and chocolate. Finish with the remaining buttered bread slices on top to complete the delicious dessert.
  • In a jug, combine the egg, cream, milk, vanilla, and orange rind. Pour this mixture over the bread and let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 50-55 minutes until the custard is set. If the cake is browning too quickly, cover with foil. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan. Dust with icing sugar and cut into squares before serving.
