Baked Chocolate Tart

Recipe courtesy Jamie Oliver

5 ounces of unsalted butter
5 1/2 ounces semisweet chocolate
8 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
Small pinch of salt
4 eggs
7 ounces granulated sugar
3 tablespoons maple syrup
3 medium heaping tablespoons sour cream or creme fraiche
10-inch tart shell, baked blind

Place the butter, chocolate, cocoa powder and salt in a bowl over a pan of simmering water and allow to melt, stirring occasionally until well mixed. In a separate bowl beat the eggs and sugar together until light and well creamed, and then add the maple syrup and sour cream or creme fraiche. Stir the chocolate mixture into this mixture, scraping all the chocolate off with a spatula. Once you have mixed it well, pour it into the pastry shell. Place into a preheated 300 degree oven for 45-50 minutes. During cooking a beautiful crust will form on top.

Carefully remove the tart from the oven and allow to cool on a rack for at least 45 minutes, during which time the skin will crack and the filling will shrink slightly.

Enjoy with fresh berries and whipped cream.
