Black forest fudge cake


 


Make two 4" round cake                                               Preparation time: 10 mins
                                                                                     Baking time: 30 mins
Ingredients
250g eating milk chocolate, chopped
125g butter, chopped

2/3 C icing sugar
2/3C self-rising flour
4 Eggs


Methods

1) Preheat oven to 180C, sprayed baking pan with oil, cut and placed baking paper on baking pan. (* traced the edge of the pan on baking paper with a pen, cut paper extending 5 cm above sides)

2) Boiled a pot of water, placed a glass/ ceramic bowl in the pot.

3) Put chopped chocolate and butter in bowl, using spatula to stir ingredients till melted.
 (* Be extra careful not have the chocolate mixture contact with water, and do not have glass bowl touching the bottom of the pot; the concept here is to use the heat/ stream to melt the chocolate and butter, NOT to boil them)

4) In a big bowl, put sugar, flour and beaten eggs, mixed well with electrical mixer or whisk.

5) Once mixture is well mixed, slowly poured chocolate mixture into big bowl, using electrical mixer in low speed to mix mixture for 3 minutes, (Do not over-mix, you may see some bubbles when mixing, we do not want to over-mix which would destroy the bubbles and the structure of the cake)

6)Poured mixture into pan until skewer comes out clear when inserted.

7) Melted chocolate and made whatever shapes to want to decorate your cake when it is cool!
