Ingredients

  • 3 - x 350g chocolate loaf cakes (shop-bought variety is fine)
  • 300 -400 milliliter tia maria or baileys
  • 1-2 teaspoon cocoa for dusting
  • 2 - eggs
  • 75 grams caster sugar
  • 500 grams mascarpone cheese
  • 250 milliliters double cream
  • 125 milliliters kalhua

How To Make booze pudding

  • Step 1
    wrap the outside of a 23 cm springform cake tin with some clingfilm or foil to avoid leaks from the base
  • Step 2
    slice the chocolate cakes thinly, and pour the 300 ml (or more if needed) of Tia Maria or Baileys into a shallow dish, ready for soaking the cake slices as you need them
  • Step 3
    Before you start to layer the cakes, whisk the eggs and sugar, and then beat in the mascarpone and double cream; I use an electric whisk for this but there is no need to if you are feeling muscley. Then add gradually the 125 ml of Kalhua to make a creamy spreadable layer for the cake.
  • Step 4
    Using approx. 1 cake per layer, dunk the slices in Tia Maria before lining the tin with them. Squidge them down, pressing confidently as you go; each layer should not be too thick, but juicily compact and solid.
  • Step 5
    Spread a third of the cream mixture over the soaked cake slices
  • Step 6
    Continue with the rest of the cake making layers. The last layer being cream, dust some coca for decoration.
  • Step 7
    Refrigerate for at least three hours (best if overnight) when ready to serve, take out of mould by the cling paper. Serve in a nice serving plater and enjoy!
