- Pour batter in a greased baking tin. Bake for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
- Decorate with fresh whipped cream, shavings of milk chocolate and berries or caramel and cream or melted chocolate and a few tablespoons of cream stirred together to make a thick chocolate ganache.
