Chocolate tray bake

Today we are invited to a Christmas party. I made this tray bake to take it to the party.


2 cups self-raising flour
1/3 cup cocoa
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
150g butter, melted
1 Tbsp espresso coffee
1 cup any jam you have (i used lingonberry jam)

Preheat oven to 170 C / Gas mark 4. Grease one 20cm (8 inch) square cake tin.
Combine all the ingredients except jam in a bowl to form a dough ball. Place 2/3 of the dough in a fridge and 1/3 in a freezer for 30 minutes. 
Press 3/4 of the dough into the bottom of the prepared cake tin. Spread the jam over the base but not quite to the edges as it will spread.
Grate with a coarse grater the remaining 1/3 of the dough over the top.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until lightly browned. Allow to cool before cutting into slices.
