1

Grease and line with baking paper a 20cm square cake tin, or if deeper slices required, a 20 x 10cm loaf tin.

2

Preheat the oven to 160°C fan bake.

3

Reserving 1 tablespoon, stir the remainder of the Alamir Bakery Tahini with honey and set aside.

4

Put 150gms dark chocolate, butter and the remaining 1 tablespoon of Alamir Bakery Tahini in either a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the base of the bowl touch the water), or microwave on defrost, and melt, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Set aside to cool.

5

6

Beat in the cooled chocolate mixture, scraping down the sides of the bowl, until fully mixed.
