This readers' recipe appeared in Epicure in 2011 and was voted one of the best by writer Richard Cornish. "Patricia Murray's adaptation of a recipe published in Epicure in the 1990s was for a heavy cake. On our tasters' request we upped the chocolate to create a moist cake made lighter by gently folding in fluffy egg whites. It is best made the day before eating and good served with cream, berries and a dusting of icing sugar. It is even better, according to Mrs Murray, with a handful of dried sour cherries added to the batter before pouring into the cake tin.
