Hey!
My first blog post ever! I have to say I'm rather nervous..and very excited too. My interest in blogging, food-blogging in particular is rather recent. It actually started after I made this birthday cake for a friend- this cake inspired me to start decorating everything I bake and make it look pretty! After all who doesn't love pretty cakes ^_^
Anyhow, that's how I stumbled across the wonderful world of baking bloggers!
So when I made this cake, I did not have a go-to cake recipe. But I had a go-to brownie recipe, which is what I used here. So that's what this cake is. Two layers of brownies with lots of chocolate sauce. Maybe I shouldn't call it a cake then :p Either way, it is so super simple, takes about 10 minutes in prep time and then 40 minutes for baking! Not to mention yummy!
I made two batches of these brownies for this cake. Brownie. Chocolate sauce. Brownie. Chocolate sauce. That is pretty much how it went. I baked these the night before so they were in the fridge the entire night and then for most of the day too. I took them out for a bit to put more chocolate sauce and to decorate it when the MNM's.
Go-To Brownies
Ingredients:
200 g Butter
8 tbsp Cadbury Cocoa Powder
2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
Method:
Preheat oven at 325°F. Line a 9x9 pan with baking paper. Or butter and lightly flour it.
Melt the butter and cocoa powder until properly mixed. In a large bowl beat the sugar, the eggs and the chocolate mixture until combined. Add the flour and the baking powder and beat at low speed.
Pour the mixture into the pan and bake for 30-40 minutes. You could test the cake by inserting a toothpick in the centre and seeing if it comes out absolutely clean or not.
World's Easiest Chocolate Sauce
Ingredients:
Half a bar of Baker's Choice Dark Chocolate
Half a packet cream
Method:
Melt the chocolate and the cream in a saucepan over a light heat. Keep stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and then turn off the heat.
PS: You could use a water-bath to prevent the chocolate from burning, but as long as you keep stirring it and make sure the heat is low that should not be necessary.
