Festive Christmas wreath twist on classic rocky road for fans of the indulgent treat.
Ingredients:
  • 75g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 160ml water
  • 100g butter, chopped
  • 155g brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 100g self-raising flour
  • 40g almond meal
  • 20.00 gm Dutch cocoa powder
  • 50g milk chocolate, chopped
  • 100g pink and white marshmallows, halved
  • 1 x 80g cherry ripe bar, coarsely chopped
  • 1 x 55g chocolate coated Turkish delight bar, coarsely chopped
  • 45g cherry
  • 40.00 ml toasted peanuts
  • 5.20 gm shredded coconut
  • 100g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 60ml cream
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C. Prepare a 20cm ring pan by greasing and lining it with baking paper.
  • In a small saucepan, gently melt the chocolate with water over low heat, stirring consistently for 5 minutes until smooth. Take off the heat and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter and sugar until pale and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring to beat well after each addition. Mix in the flour, almond meal, cocoa, and chocolate until combined.
  • Transfer the batter into the pan and even out the top. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle emerges clean. Let it rest in the pan for 5 minutes before flipping it onto a wire rack to cool fully.
  • For the ganache, add the chocolate to a medium heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan over high heat, bring the cream to a simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and stir with a metal spoon until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth.
  • Place the cake on a wire rack set over an oven tray. Evenly drizzle the ganache over the cake and allow it to set for 30 minutes.
  • Melt the milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Put it in a plastic bag and cut a corner. Place marshmallows, cherry ripe, Turkish delight, and peanuts on the cake, sprinkle with coconut, then drizzle chocolate over the top. Let it set for 30 minutes.
