It is taken from the Green & Blacks-Chocolate Recipes. If you can get this book, do. It is like a lucky dip of chocolate recipes from Chocolate marinated Venison to this, which is called Inmates Cake!
Preheat your oven to 180C. Grease and Flour 2x 20cm cake tins with deep sides of one 12cm deep round tin. Ensure that the tin you use has high sides as the cake will rise quite a bit!
Ingredients:
500g Plain Flour, Sifted
500g Sugar
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1tablespoon baking powder
half teaspoon of salt
150g cocoa powder
150 ml of Buttermilk
150ml vegetable oil
4 large eggs
1tsp vanilla essence
200ml water
Directions:
Sift all the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
In a seperate bowl, mix all the other/wet ingredients.
Mix the wet into the dry and whisk together for 3-4 minutes ensuring that there are no lumps
Pour into the cake tin and place in the centre of the preheated oven.If using 2 tins. bake for 30-40 mins. If using a larger tin, bake for 1 hour. Test the centre of the cake with a skewer. If it comes out clean, it si cooked. Keep an eye on it. It can turn really quickly and end up too dry!
Allow to cool a little before removing from the tin and then cool on a wire rack. When cooled, place in an airtight container.
To ice the cake, you can use 2 jars of chocolate spread
I plan on heating the slices slightly and serving with a really good vanilla ice-cream. I'll let you know what its like!
Happy Friday.
