For the Sweet Tooth

Hi guys,

Its been a long time since i have posted something new on the blog, but it was vacation season and I have been out and partying and learning a lot of new things while at it. I learnt how to polish off a bottle of tequila with buddies, how to shake a leg and most importantly how to bake a stupendous chocolate cake..

All you'll need:

1. 3 Eggs
2. 100 g  Dark Chocolate
3. 50 g    Plain Flour
4. 100g   Castor Sugar
5. Some Fresh Mint
6. 100 g  Unsalted Butter
7. Some Cocoa Powder
8. 6 Aluminium Pudding Tins
9. 2 Bowls
10. 1 Baking Tray
11. Hand Held Mixer
12. Knife

This is pretty simple, all you need to do now is follow a few simple steps and voila! In 20 minutes you'd have a really tasty and light chocolate cake.

1.  Pre-heat the oven at 180 degrees C for about 5 minutes.
   
   
2.  Brush the insides of your pudding tins with soft butter and then spoon in some cocoa powder. Turn the tin in a circular motion and tap it untill the inside surface is fully covered with cocoa powder.
   
3.  Now that the tins are prepared, place chocolate and butter in a double boiler or if you don't have a double boiler then in a heat proof bowl and place it over a pan of boiling water. Leave the butter and chocolate to melt.
   
4.  Beat the eggs and slowly incorporate the sugar. Mix until airy and fluffy.
   
5.  Sieve the flour into the melted butter-chocolate mixture and mix the flour till no crumbs are seen.
   
6.  Now pour the Chocolate-Butter-Flour mixture into the bowl with the Egg- Sugar mixture so that they are in the same bowl. Now mix them really well.
   
7.  Once you have mixed all the ingredients well, pour them into the prepared aluminium tins and place the tins on the baking dish and bake them for 10 mins at 160 degrees C. 

Serves 5-10 people depending on the size of your pudding tins. I use the big tins and generally get 4 or something.

I really hope this fluffy chocolate cake appeals to your sweet tooth, and for those of you who are fans of chocolate lava, bake the cake for 5-6 mins instead of 10 mins to have some chocolate oozing out of your cake.

Happy baking!!
