INGREDIENTS
185g unsalted butter
185g quality cooking chocolate
225g pack of Dry Roasted pre-cut macadamias
3 eggs
250g sugar
90g plain flour, sifted
pinch of salt
40g cocoa powder, sifted

Preheat oven to 170C. Grease and line a 20 x 20cm baking pan.
On low heat, melt the butter and chocolate together in a saucepan, stirring regularly. Set aside to cool for 20 minutes.
Chop the macadamia kernels into pieces. Beat the eggs and sugar together with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. Slowly pour in the cooled chocolate mixture, folding it in carefully until combined.
Fold in the flour, cocoa and salt, followed by the crumbled Christmas cake and macadamias.
Pour the batter into the baking pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until firm in the centre.
