Follow along with the recipe video above or read the method below.
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan/gas mark 4).
2. Weigh out 750g self-raising flour and 185g baking margarine and add into the bowl of your mixer. Attach the paddle beater and mix on a low speed for 3-4 minutes, or until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
3. Add 120g caster sugar and 30g cocoa powder into your base mix. Mix gently to combine.
4. Remove the paddle beater and replace with the dough hook.
5. Gradually add 350ml of semi-skimmed milk into your mix. Combine everything together until you form a dough. Add a little more milk if needed.
6. Tip your dough onto a lightly floured work surface and use your hands to gently work the dough until it’s combined.
7. Add 175g cherries and 125g dark chocolate chips. Gently combine everything together by hand.
8. Roll out the dough so it's roughly 4cm thick. Use a 7cm straight-edged round cutter to cut out 12 scones. You'll need to roll out the dough again and cut out the scones a few times to use up all the dough.
9. Place your scones on a lined baking tray.
10. Put them in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until risen and lightly coloured. The scones should feel light when you pick them up.
11. Melt 25g dark chocolate chips and using a spoon drizzle it over the scones.
