Tim And Tracys Chocolate Cake Boiled Recipes

TIM AND TRACY'S CHOCOLATE CAKE (BOILED)

Steps:

• If you don't have self raising flour, use plain flour with 1 heaped teaspoon of baking powder added to it.
• Preheat the oven to 170C/340°F.
• Butter a 20cm/8" cake tin. Line the base with baking paper.
• Put the butter, sugar, water, cocoa and bicarb in a saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring constantly.
• It goes a bit volcanic so once the mixture rises, be prepared to take it off the stove immediately. Set aside to cool.
• Beat the eggs in a large bowl.
• Sift in a bit of the flour and then mix in some of the chocolate. Continue until all the flour and chocolate are incorporated. If you do this a bit at a time, the flour will mix in easily without overmixing and making the cake tough.
• Pour into the prepared cake tin and bake for 45 minutes.
• Cool on a wire rack.
• Ice with your favourite icing or leave un-iced.
• To make a larger cake, use 3 eggs and scale everything else up by 50%. (BTW, this is a maths problem that I give to my kids!).
• Edited to include icing: Kookaburra referred to the icing in my original recipe I posted on the Australia/New Zealand forum. Here it is. 375g icing sugar, 1.5 tablespoons cocoa, 185g butter, 1.5 tablespoons water (hot works best), 5 drops vanilla. Cream butter and half the icing sugar. Add hot water, the rest of the icing and cocoa sifted together and the vanilla. Beat until smooth.
