You're only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake

Pookie Bear · 17 Sep 2009 at 22:26

I've done this recipe again since the last time, twice in fact. The second time my missus brought over some cooking chocolate and it was amazing - maybe it's because I don't use self-raising flour, but the chocolate doesn't sink too much and the cake is nice and thick

and with a bit of custard (3 packs for 60p at Morrisons

) it makes for a great little pudding!

6 tablespoons of sugar :/

That isn't a lot of sugar for a cake

I have about 4 or 5 in a cup of tea.

It's a small amount for a cake.

4 or 5 tablespoons? Enjoying your cavities?

And that much sugar in something the size of a coffee mug is a lot.

We tried this today with gluten free self raising flour and added milk as a precaution against dryness and it worked quite well. Next time I'm going to add a little more liquid.

Try adding xanthan gum instead of milk. Usually makes my gluten free cakes very nice.

Tried it today with galaxy drinking chocolate instead of coca... very sucessful and quite addictive - made a really nice light sponge... will taste even better IMO after a night in the fridge tho (prefer my chocloate cake cool and firm).

this is gods greatest gift to man. I'll never go hungry again. I upped the ingredients x3 and made a massive cake in a mixing bowel (a MANS cake, not some boyscout's cup-cake). Worked so well
