Method
-
Sift the self-raising flour, caster sugar and cocoa into a bowl.
-
Add the butter and use your fingertips to 'rub together' the mix until the mixture comes together like breadcrumbs.
-
Add the chocolate melts and golden syrup.
-
Fold in the milk and knead lightly until it comes together.
-
Line a large cake tin with aluminium foil. Place the Cob Loaf into the cake tin, heaping it up in the centre to give it the 'cob loaf' shape.
-
Bake for 30 minutes or until the outside has formed a hard crust.
-
Allow cooling in the pan.
-
Add the caster sugar to the bottom of a saucepan, spreading it evenly over the bottom.
-
Heat over high, and whisk the sugar as it starts to melt.
-
Once all the sugar has melted, allow the mixture to continue cooking until it deepens to a golden colour.
-
Add the butter to the mixture (being careful as it may spit) and whisk it together until the butter and sugar have come together. Remove the pan from the heat.
-
Very slowly pour in the cream whilst whisking at the same time. Whisk until smooth.
-
Add the flaky salt and again beat well.
-
Let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
-
Cut a circle into the top of the cob loaf, and remove as much as the filling as you can.
-
Cut up mini Hot Cross Buns, toast and set aside (use these as dippers)
-
Pour the hot caramel sauce into the cob loaf.
-
Decorate with honeycomb, raspberries and grated chocolate.
-
Serve hot.
