Chocolate Fudge Loaf Cake Recipes

CHOCOLATE FUDGE LOAF CAKE!

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 180C/160C Fan, and line a 2lb loaf tin!
• In a microwave proof bowl, add the chocolate and butter and heat and mix until melted. I usually do 30 second bursts!
• Add the coffee granules to a mug, and pour over the boiling water and mix until smooth - add the coffee mix into the chocolate/butter and mix until smooth.
• In a separate bowl, add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and sugar to a large bowl and whisk until distributed.
• In another bowl, mix together the buttermilk and eggs.
• Add the three mixes together - I pour the chocolate/coffee mix and the egg/buttermilk mix into the dry ingredients and fold until smooth. You do not need to use a stand mixer as you may over-mix it.
• Pour the mixture into the lined 2lb loaf tin - bake in the oven for 55-60 minutes, or until baked through!
• Leave to cool fully once baked!
• Make sure your butter is at room temperature!
• Beat the butter on it's own for a few minutes to soften!
• Add in the icing sugar and cocoa powder 1/2 at a time, and beat until combined.
• Add the vanilla, and then the evaporated milk a little at a time beating fully in-between each go!
• Slather the frosting onto the top of the loaf cake, and then decorate how you want - chocolates and more!
• Sprinkle on your favourite sprinkles and enjoy!

EASY CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Oil and line the base of two 18cm sandwich tins. Sieve the flour, cocoa powder and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl. Add the caster sugar and mix well.
• Make a well in the centre and add the golden syrup, eggs, sunflower oil and milk. Beat well with an electric whisk until smooth.
• Pour the mixture into the two tins and bake for 25-30 mins until risen and firm to the touch. Remove from oven, leave to cool for 10 mins before turning out onto a cooling rack.
• To make the icing, beat the unsalted butter in a bowl until soft. Gradually sieve and beat in the icing sugar and cocoa powder, then add enough of the milk to make the icing fluffy and spreadable.
• Sandwich the two cakes together with the butter icing and cover the sides and the top of the cake with more icing.
