Fudgy chocolate brownie cake

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4. Butter and line a 21cm x 10.5cm, 3.5cm deep, heart-shaped cake tin.
2. Put the butter, vanilla, dark chocolate, sugar and a pinch of salt in a large heatproof bowl. Melt over a pan of barely simmering water. Remove from the heat, mix in the eggs, fold in the flour, then stir in the pecans and butterscotch chocolate.
3. Spoon into the tin, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon. Bake for 25 minutes until the top is firm but it’s still a bit gooey in the centre. Remove from the oven, then cool in the tin for 15 minutes. Carefully turn out on to a serving plate.
4. Dust with cocoa, then decorate with pink rose petals and silver heart dragées. Serve warm.
