A recipe I came across whilst watching a TV Series called "The Hairy Bikers: Mums Know Best". A wonderful recipe that places a moist, decadent chocolate brownie cake inside pasty. Hence the name 'Cake Pie'.

- To make the pastry: In a food processor (or by hand if you wish) combine flour and butter until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add salt. Gradually add the water until a ball of dough appears. Remove pastry from bowl, wrap in cling wrap and chill until needed.
- To make the filling, melt butter, caster sugar, brown sugar, chocolate and syrup in a pan until smooth. Remove from the heat.
- Break eggs into a bowl and whisk until frothy.
- Add eggs, vanilla, flour, baking powder and cocoa to the mixture and stir thoroughly.
- Roll out about half the pastry and line a 8" (20cm) baking tin.
- Pour the mixture in the case. Roll the remaining pastry and lay over the top. Use leftover scrap of pastry to make decoration.
- Pinch the edges of the pie together. Make a small hole in the middle of the lid. Lightly brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake at gas mark 4 OR 180 degrees celsius for 40 - 50 minutes.
Tip
Please remember if using a fan forced oven to reduce temperature by 10 degrees. This pie gets gooey, so it's better to refrigerate before serving. Enjoy with ice cream or whipped cream. YUM!
