Instructions
Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas
Butter 2 x 150ml dariole moulds, scatter in the flaked almonds so they stick to the base and sides and put on a small baking tray. Beat the butter, sugar, egg, flour, ground almonds and cocoa powder together, then divide between the moulds.
Bake for 20-25 mins until a skewer comes out clean.
Meanwhile, for the sauce, melt all the ingredients in a small pan and keep warm.
Carefully turn the cakes out of their moulds and sit on 2 plates (the same way up as they baked).
Serve with vanilla ice cream, the hot chocolate sauce, espressos and a splash more Disaronno.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Moscato Dasti, Port
Pudding works really well with Cream Sherry, Moscato d'Asti, and Port. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Solera Cream Sherry with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.

NV Solera Cream Sherry
The Solera Cream Sherry has a brilliant amber and deep copper hue. With butterscotch and pecan aromas, the sweet salted nut and brown spice aromas carry a complex caramel accent. A sweet entry leads to a rounded, lush, moderately full-bodied palate with a lengthy, flavorful finish.
