We love this rich cake!
Here’s a sinfully delicious chocolate cake.
Ingredients
- 200g Cream flour [plain flour]
- 250g granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 1 large egg
- 125g unsalted butter
- 150 ml natural yoghurt or butter milk
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons cocoa
- 150 ml of Guinness
Method
- Preheat oven to 180º C / 350º F / Gas mark 4
- Line your cake tin with parchment paper [if using a moulded cake tin, use baker’s non stick spray]
- Sieve all the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl
- Lightly whisk the egg, vanilla & buttermilk [or yoghurt] in a jug
- Then melt the butter in a saucepan, adding the cocoa and guinness. When it has just melted, stir is until smooth to ensure there are no lumps.
- Next, mix all the ingredients together.
- Pour the mix into the prepared tin and back for approximately 45 minutes. It is cooked when a tester [toothpick or thin skewer] comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to stand for 30 minutes before removing from the tin. Then turn it out to cool on a wire rack.
To serve
Serve with fresh cream, butter cream, chocolate ganache or your choice of sauce. This mixture can also be used to make super cupcakes.
