Melmerby chocolate cake
This is the chocolate cake that we make for the village May Day cake stand every year. We have a good, old-fashioned May Day - a May Queen, the young dance around the May Pole and then there are classic stalls and games.
Ingredients
- For the cake:
- 140g organic self-raising flour
- 225g organic Fairtrade caster sugar
- 2tbsp organic cocoa
- 110g organic butter, melted
- 2 free-range organic eggs
- 225ml organic milk
- 2tsp organic Fairtrade vanilla extract
- For the filling:
- Chocolate spread or chocolate hazelnut spread, we use Green & Black's organic hazelnut and chocolate spread
- For the topping:
- 1tbsp Fairtrade golden syrup
- 50g organic plain chocolate
- 1tbsp organic butter
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C. Butter and line base of two 20cm round cake tins.
- Put all the organic ingredients into a bowl and beat well for 3 - 5 minutes. Pour the mixture into the 2 cake tins.
- Bake for 15 minutes until springy to touch (or 30 minutes if you put it all into one bowl). Cool for 30 minutes.
- Spread chocolate spread over top of one cake then put the other cake on top, pressing down firmly.
- Melt the topping ingredients over a low heat in a pan. When fully mixed, cool until firmer and spread over top of cake. Leave to cool in a cool place - perhaps even a fridge for a little.
