I chose this recipe because it sounds very good and I think that people will enjoy it. I think that this recipe is a little complicated but it is not too complex. I think that kids and parents will enjoy making it. It is a very interesting cake but I think that it would be a good idea to make the chocolate drizzle a different flavour of chocolate than the flavour of the cake.
Double Chocolate Loaf Cake
Ingredients:
- 175g softened butter, plus extra for greasin
- 175g golden castor sugar
- 3 eggs
- 140g self-rising flour
- 85g ground almonds
- Half teaspoon of baking powder
- 100ml milk
- 4 tbsp cocoa powder
- 50g plain chocolate chips or chunks
- Few extra chunks white or plain or milk chocolate for decorating
Method
- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease and line a 2lb/900g loaf tin with a long strip of baking parchment.
- To make the loaf cake batter, beat the butter and sugar with an electric whisk until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, flour, almonds, baking powder, milk and cocoa until smooth.
- Stir in the chocolate chips, and then scrape into the tin.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden, risen and a skewer poked in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the tin, and then lift out onto a wire rack over some kitchen paper. Melt the extra chocolate chunks separately in pans over barely simmering water, or in bowls in the microwave, and then use a spoon to drizzle each in turn over the cake. Leave to set before slicing.
Review: This recipe is very good, but it takes a little longer to bake than the allotted time. It is slightly crunchy and it is very chocolatey. It isn’t good if you leave it out on a counter or a table.
