Gluten-free friands with hazelnuts and ginger, pistachio and kataifi chocolate … and no special gadgets required

Chocolate cake, in its many guises, must be one of the most-loved foods on the planet. I make this recipe often at home – it’s a moist cake filled with decadent ganache. It is rich and indulgent, as all good chocolate cakes should be, yet needs no gadgets to make. Serve it as is, or make it a showstopper and switch up the filling (perhaps with nuts, or cherries to cut the richness) and finish with a few edible flowers.
