Food
Everyone loves a slice of chocolate cake and once you have the base right, you can get creative with the toppings. Use the chocolate fudge pieces as bonfire logs and create flames out of icing.
10 Servings
Ingredients
100g soft margarine
100g light soft brown sugar
2 medium eggs
100g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
3 tbsp Cadbury Bournville Cocoa Powder
50g butter
75g Cadbury Bournville Dark Chocolate
2 tbsp semi-skimmed milk
225g icing sugar
4 bars Cadbury Fudge
Method
- Place margarine, sugar and eggs into a bowl with the sieved flour, baking powder and cocoa, then add 2 tbsp of hot water and beat well together with an electric hand mixer for 1-2 mins.
- Divide evenly between the sandwich tins and bake in the oven for 25-30 mins until well risen and springy to the touch. Remove from the tins and cool on a wire rack for around 30 mins.
- Melt the butter and chocolate with the milk in a bowl over a pan of simmering water.
- Sieve the icing sugar and cocoa into a bowl and, using a wooden spoon, beat in the chocolate mixture along with 1 tbsp hot water. The mixture should be thick enough to spread onto the cake – if not, leave to cool a little.
- Sandwich the sponges together with a quarter of the icing. Use the remaining icing to cover the sides and top of the cake.
- Decorate with the pieces of Cadbury Fudge and yellow and orange icing for a fiery topping.
