METHOD
Preheat the oven to 160 ̊C fan bake.
Heat the butter and golden syrup together in a saucepan and whisk to combine.
Sift both flours, cocoa powder, baking soda and spices into
a large bowl and stir in the sugar. Whisk the eggs and milk together then add the butter and golden syrup to the dry ingredients. Fold everything together and pour into the baking dish. Sprinkle over the chopped chocolate.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the middle bounces back when lightly pressed. Cool in the tin for 20 minutes before turning out.
SPICED CHOCOLATE SAUCE: Put the cream, chocolate, and spices in a microwave-safe jug and heat for 1 minute on high. Rest for 30 seconds then heat again for 30 seconds. Leave the mixture to sit for a minute, then whisk until smooth. The sauce can be made in advance and kept in the fridge until serving, simply microwave to reheat.
