Recipe's preparation

    Method

  1. 1. Preheat oven to 180 deg or 170 deg fan forced.


    2. Line an 18 cm round cake tin with baking paper. I usually make a base and a collar for the tin.


    3. If using raw sugar, mill 70 grams of raw sugar 15 sec/ speed 9 then set aside and mill the remaining 100 grams raw sugar for 4 sec / speed 9.


    4. Add sugars and butter roughly chooped to mixing bowl.


    5. Mix 30 sec / speed 4. Scrape down sides of bowl with spatula and add butterfly. Mix further 30 sec / speed 4.


    6. Add eggs and mix 10 sec / speed 4.


    7. Add vanilla essence and chocolate topping and mix 10 sec / speed 4.


    8. Add bi-carb soda, cocoa, half the flour and half the milk and mix 20 sec/ speed 4.


    9. Add remaining flour and milk and mix 20 sec / speed 4, then scrape down sides and mix further 20 sec / speed 4.


    10. Pour batter into prepared cake tin and bake for 45 minutes until a scewer comes out clean. Leave in tin to cool for at least 15 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool.

  2. Describe the preparation steps of your recipe

    3. To make butter cream icing

  3. 1. Add butter, chocolate, icing sugar and cream to the mixing bowl and mix for 3 mins/50 deg C/ speed 3.


    2. Scrape down sides and if mixture is not fully melted and smooth mix for 30 sec intervals/50 deg C/ speed 3 until melted and smooth (some types of chocolate take longer to melt)


    3. When cake is cool spread the butter cream over cake.


     


    You may also like to slice the cake horizontally through the centre and add butter cream to the middle. You will need to double the quantity of ingredients if doing this.


     


    Alternatively you can add raspberry or blackberry jam to the centre layer.

    This is my family's favourite chocolate cake, it is not rich and dense like a mud cake but light, moist and fluffy and not too over-whelming tmrc_emoticons.)
