Double Choc Chip Cake

Double Choc Chip Cake MMMM!! This is one of the easiest cakes to make – all you need is a blender or a stick blender, its so easy that mini me’s will be making this tonight, and every time they have drop ins.

You can make this in a loaf tin (bakes in about 1 hour) or into 2 small sandwich tins to make it easier to ice and layer (this should take about 35-40 mins) depends on your oven and the size of the tin – should check cake after 35 mins.

1 1/3 Cups Self Raising Flour

1 1/3 Cups Caster Sugar

1/2 Tsp Bi-Carb Soda

1/2 Cup Coco Powder

6 oz (175g) unsalted Butter (soften)

80 ml Cream

1 Tsp Vanilla

2 Egg

1/3 cup Hot water

175g Dark Choc Chips

1.     Pre-heat oven at 170C

2.     Grease your tin and line bottom with baking paper as this will stick due to the melted choc chips.

3.     In a blender or a bowl (if using stick blender) put all ingredients except for the water and choc chips.

4.     Blend until combined, add the water (if it is too dry add a little more).

5.     Add Choc Chips and stir with a spoon

6.     Pour into pan (or pans if using sandwich tins)

7.     Bake for 1 hour for the loaf tin or about 35 – 45 mins for sandwich tin (keep checking after 35 mins by inserting a knife or skewer to check if cooked through.

8.     Cool in tin for 5 mins and invert on to a plate.

If you like you can make a icing of chocolate ganache or just have it as a loaf sliced with you cuppa.
