Chocolate fudge cake


This is the cake I made for Master M's 12th Birthday, it was super easy, and so very moist and tasty.





Ingredients




  • 250g dark chocolate, broken into chunks - standard supermarket chocolate is fine
  • 300g self-raising flour
  • 300g light, soft brown sugar, plus 2 tbsp
  • 50g cocoa
  • 200ml sunflower oil, plus a little extra for greasing
  • 284ml soured cream
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence














Method

  • Heat oven to 160C/fan and grease and line a deep, 20cm round cake tin. Whizz the chocolate in a food processor until crumbs. Tip the flour, sugar, cocoa, oil, 150ml soured cream, eggs, vanilla and 150ml water into the largest mixing bowl you have. Whisk with an electric whisk until smooth, then quickly stir in 150g of your whizzed-up chocolate bits. Scrape into a tin, and bake on the middle shelf for 1 hr 20-1 hr 30 mins, or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in the tin.

  • I made a Chocolate fudge sauce ganache for the icing and used  KitKat and Maltase as decoration,then a vanilla butter icing in the middle of the cake.

    7. That cake looks so good. Apparently over here it is national chocolate week. Quite appropriate that your cake is chocolate x

    15. I'd be pretty darn happy if this was my birthday cake - talk about the best of both worlds with Kit Kats and Maltesers.
