Chocolate Cake Recipe
Ingredients
50g of cocoa powder (not drinking chocolate)
240ml of boiling water
200g sugar
113g butter
175g self raising flour
2tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp of salt
2 beaten eggs
Preheat your oven to 180c
1. Mix the boiling water into the cocoa powder (as if making hot chocolate, so into a paste and then gradually adding the rest) stir alot so all the lumps disolve.
2. Cream the butter and sugar until light in colour and fluffy
3. Sift in the self raising flour,salt and baking powder
4. Add the cocoa/water & beaten eggs
5. Mix well until there are no lumps (The mixture will be very runny but that's good!)
6. Pour into whatever you like (This makes 12 Large muffin like cupcakes) so will be enough for two layers of cake.
7. Bake for around 25 mins until firm to the touch.
8. Cover in delicious icing (preferably coffee flavoured)
How did you manage to get them so perfect?? I tried making cup cakes, but I spilled everywhere.. is there a secret trick? Also, what is the glitter, is it just sugar?
ReplyDeleteThe glitter is edible glitter, silvery blue for the chocolate with vanilla icing and iridescent gold for the vanilla with chocolate icing.
ReplyDeleteI have practiced alot! I bake all the time especially now I live on the farm and the baking cupboard is always full. I will put the chocolate cupcake recipe up- its very easy and always turns out great
