chocolate cake
cake 125 g dark chocolate 3 tbsp milk 150 g butter 150 g caster sugar 3 eggs 200 g plain flour 1 tbsp good quality cocoa powder 1 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda chocolate butter icing 75 g butter 1 tbsp cream 1 tsp vanilla extract 175 g icing sugar 1 tbsp good quality cocoa powder i love brownies but the cost of that much chocolate makes them a rare occasion. this recipe is not as expensive as most chocolate cakes and very yummy. I decorated it with white chocolate buttons, but you could really go to town with plenty of other decoration ideas. tip: you are meant to leave it in for 25 minutes at gas mark 6 but I find less is better (and melt more chocolate into it !!hehe)
