Reduced carb & calorie celebration cake? Look no further!
We've taken the flavours of a classic black forest gateau and turned our brownie mix into something very special indeed.
By baking the mix in a 15cm/6-inch circular tin, the resulting brownie will be thick enough to cut in half through the middle and turn into two sections of a cake.
You might be able to find low sugar cherry jams, but it's as easy to make your own - we just boiled down half a tin of cherries with a touch of erythritol and then thickened it with cornflour - no more sugar added!
Finally, we added cream, chocolate and fresh cherries to complete this beautiful cake!

- 90g of chocolate (plus a fewg more for decorating if desired), broken into pieces
