YOU WILL NEED
20cm loose-bottomed sandwich cake tin
1 For the pastry, cream the butter and caster sugar until pale. Add the egg and, once combined, mix in the flour until smooth. Chill for 30 mins.
2 Roll the pastry between 2 sheets of floured baking paper, to the thickness of a pound coin, dust with flour and line the tin. Trim the overhang and chill the case for 20 mins.
3 Heat the oven to 180C Fan/Gas 6. Bake the tart case for 12 mins. Meanwhile, make the filling. Melt the butter and chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water, then set aside to cool a little.
4 Lightly beat the eggs, egg yolks and caster sugar. Pour the chocolate mixture onto the eggs, mix until smooth.
5 Spread the jam over the base of warm tart case, then pour in the filling. Bake for 25-30 mins until the centre is set with a slight wobble. Cool in the tin, then chill.
6 Before serving, transfer from the tin to a serving plate, bring to room temperature then dust with a little cocoa powder. The tart will keep well in the fridge for a couple of days.
