Method

1

Preheat oven to 180°C/ 160c. Grease and line a 20cm round springform baking tin with baking parchment. Place the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, making sure the base of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir constantly until melted and smooth.

2

With a hand-held electric mixer, whisk the sugar and eggs together for 2-3 minutes until pale and fluffy.

3

Slowly add the melted chocolate and butter then add the vanilla extract and continue to whisk until thickened. Lastly, sift in the flour and baking powder and fold in gently.

4

Turn the mixture into the prepared tin and bake in the middle shelf of the oven for 20-25 minutes until the top is firm and the cake has come away slightly from the sides of the tin.

5

Place the icing sugar and egg whites in a standing food mixer and whisk on high for 10 minutes until glossy white peaks form. Using a spatula, gently fold in the cornflour and the white wine vinegar.

6

Pour the mixture on top of the brownie mix and bake for another 20 minutes, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.

7

Once cooled, remove from the tin onto a cake stand. Whip the cream with the icing sugar until pillowy but still soft and then fold in the brandy.

8

Dollop onto the top of the cake then sprinkle with the hazelnuts, gold stars, edible glitter and indoor sparklers and serve.
