World Chocolate Day Recipe
Ingredients
Cake
225g plain flour
255g granulated white sugar
96g cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp bicarbonate soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
128ml buttermilk
64g butter melted
1tbsp vanilla extract
128ml hot coffee
Chocolate Glaze
200 grams dark chocolate
90 grams unsalted butter
Method
Preheat oven to 180c. Grease (or use baking paper) a 9inch spring tin and leave to one side.
In the large bowl of a standing mixer, stir together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
Add eggs, buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla extract and beat until smooth.
Stir in hot coffee with a rubber spatula. It will be a little runny!
Pour mixture into your spring tin and cook for about 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Whilst it is baking, melt your dark chocolate and butter over a pan on the hob until a chocolate glaze has formed.
Wait until the cake is completely cool to glaze with chocolate.
Enjoy!
