Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

175g plain flour
50g ground almonds
60g cocoa
115g golden caster sugar
145g butter , softened, plus extra for the tin
demerara sugar , for sprinkling over
4 tbsp caramel
50ml single cream

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the flour, almonds, cocoa, caster sugar and a large pinch of salt into a food processor and whizz briefly. Add the butter and whizz until the mixture resembles damp sand.
  • Generously butter the base and sides of a small (15 x 25cm) baking tin. Tip the mixture into the tin and press it down. Bake for 30 mins. Remove from the oven, sprinkle over some demerara sugar and cut into squares using a sharp knife while still it's soft.
  • Meanwhile, heat the caramel and cream together in a pan. Serve the concrete warm with the caramel sauce. You can cool any leftovers and eat them cold - they will harden like shortbread.
