Cocoa Powder
40 g
Low Fat Spread
110 g

Instructions
1
Line a 23cm loose-bottomed tin with baking paper. Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas mark 4.
2
Sift together the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and cocoa powder. Put in a food processor with the low-fat spread, sugar and eggs, then blend until smooth.
3
Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 35-40 minutes or until springy in the middle. Leave in the tin to cool for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
4
Slice the cake in half horizontally. Roughly crush two-thirds of the berries with a fork, spread them over one half of the cake and stack the other on top. Arrange the remaining berries on top of the cake – slice the larger ones, if you like. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the fruit and leave to set.
