Last weekend, I made the best chocolate brownie cake in the history of the world!!!
As it was for my daughter's birthday, I used an old recipe I got from a friend (years ago, when I could eat whatever I wanted) and then tweaked it a bit, (because I can't help myself!). This was the result!
Ingredients
To make a 26x40cm cake.
6 eggs
2 cups sugar
400g butter, melted & cooled
400mls freshly brewed coffee, cooled
750mls/3cups flour
8 Tbsp cocoa, unsweetened
6 tsps vanilla sugar
6 tsps baking powder
For the glaze:
200g chocolate, dark/bitter
100g butter
2-4 Tbsp cocoa
2-4 Tbsp icing sugar
Method
Beat the sugar and eggs together
Sift all dry ingredients together.
Combine the cooled coffee, melted butter and egg/sugar mix.
Gradually add the wet to the dry.
Mix well to combine.
Grease the sides and line the bottom of a baking tray - mine is 26cms x 40cms.
Pour in the mixture and spread out evenly.
Bake at 175oC for 35 minutes.
Allow to cool completely before adding glaze.
For the glaze:
Gently melt the butter and chocolate together.
Sift the icing sugar and cocoa into a bowl and slowly stir in the chocolate butter.
Top the cake with the glaze and spread evenly before it sets. If you're using decorative sprinkles, get them on as soon as possible, as the glaze sets quite quickly (depending on the temperate of the room).
It's big!
