chocolate loaf cake
chocolate loaf cake
225 gm butter
275 gm dark brown sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
125 g 70% cocoa dark chocolate, melted
250 gm plain flour
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
Preheat the oven to 190C. Grease and line a loaf tin. Cream the butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla, beating in well.Next fold in the melted and cooled chocolate, taking care to blend well but do not overbeat.Gently add the flour, to which you've added the bicarb, alternately spoon by spoon, with 120 ml of boiling water until you have a smooth and fairly liquid batter.
Pour into the lined loaf tin and bake for 30 minutes. Turn the oven down to 170C/gas mark 3 and cook for another 15 minutes. The cake will still be a bit squidgy inside, so an inserted cake tester or skewer won't come out completely clean.Place the loaf tin on a rack and leave to get completely cold before turning it out
