Chocolate Cake
A simple homemade chocolate cake with grated milk chocolate, cocoa and a splash of rum.
Ingredients
| 1 | egg | |
| — | oil (a finger's height in the cup) | |
| 1 cup | 240 ml | sugar |
| 1/2 cup | 120 ml | milk |
| 1/2 | yogurt | |
| 1/2 large bar | Milka milk chocolate, grated | |
| 5-6 tbsp | 75–90 ml | cocoa |
| 2 measures | rum | |
| 2 cups (150) g | flour | |
| 1 tsp | 5 ml | baking powder |
| — | chocolate (for glaze) | |
| — | butter (for glaze) | |
| — | cocoa (for glaze) | |
| — | milk (for glaze) |
Instructions
- Beat 1 egg, a finger's height of oil from the cup and 1 cup of sugar for 5 minutes or even longer.
- Add 1/2 cup of milk and half a yogurt and beat at lower speed.
- Add half a large Milka milk chocolate, grated, and then about 5-6 tablespoons of cocoa. Add 2 measures of rum.
- Finally add about 2 cups (150 g) of flour mixed with a teaspoon of baking powder. That's about it.
- Pour into a greased tin dusted with flour. Bake at 180°C for about an hour or so. Test with a skewer.
Glaze: I won't comment much on the glaze, mine turned out rather runny. Chocolate, butter, cocoa and milk are supposedly heated and stirred until thickened... but it didn't work out for me.
