chocolate fudge fudgy cake!! yummy!!

okey, so no pictures of the cake.
i ran out of time, took it out of the oven seconds before i had to leave for work. so my cake was left on the stove for like.. 8 hrs before i came back to see the result!! well, i saw it, and my tummy was rumbling, so, its just natural for me to taste it !! :)

holy macaroni!!! it was to die for. no seriously, it was like.. tasting chocolate. pure chocolate!! and it was simple!! really was. so, heres the recipe, try it at home, it takes about 20 min to prepare it, and about 40 min to bake it!! its worth it :)

again, it has 2 parts to it. the sauce and the chocolate sponge cake itself

for the sponge,

• 85g self-raising flour
• 30g cocoa powder
• pinch salt
• 115g light muscovado sugar
• 115g unsalted butter, softened
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 2-3 tbsp milk

Sift the flour into a bowl with the cocoa powder and salt.

In a separate bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. I used brown cane sugar for this coz i couldnt find muscavado sugar in the shop, but it tasted good, so i dont see no harm. i think, u guys can still use brown sugar if u cant find either of em. try not to use white sugar, coz i think white sugar then to be sweeter, and u dont need that.

Beat in the vanilla essence and the eggs then fold this mixture in the flour mixture.

Mix in just enough milk to give a soft dropping consistency. even though the recipe said only 2-3 tbsp of milk, i had to put in about 6 tbsp. so i think u dont need to follow the recipe bit by bit u know.

Spoon into the buttered ovenproof dish. (obviously butter up the dish 1st, u dont want ure cake to be sticking to the dish now do ya?)


For the sauce

• 85g/3oz light muscovado sugar
• 30g/1oz cocoa powder
• 225ml/8fl oz milk

For the sauce, mix the sugar and the cocoa powder together and gradually beat in the milk. yep, its that simple!!

Pour evenly over the UNCOOKED cake mixture. Place in the oven and bake for about 40-60 minutes until firm and spongy to touch.Temperature of the oven should be about 180C

okey. i know what ure thinkin, how can u pour the sauce over the uncooked batter/sponge mixture. well, i had my doubts too at 1st. but when i actually did the batter/sponge mixture, it turned out to be heavy, and the sauce was very light, so the sauce basically just stayed on top of the cake. and when its done, u can see the top part is lil bit dark (more chocolatey) and the bottom was more.. hurmmm.. floury? :)

newayz, i had it with cream, and its good. so u can have the cake warm @ cold, with or without cream. its all good!! its cake, and its chocolate!!

iam a happy bunny!! :)
