Chocolate Loaf Cake

Recipe Ingredients :

• Butter 225 gm.
• Dark brown sugar 275 gm.
• Large eggs, beaten 2
• Vanilla extract 1 teaspoon
• Cocoa dark chocolate, melted125 g 70%
• Plain flour 250 gm.
• Bicarbonate of soda 1 tsp.

 Recipe Method :

• 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 bicarbonate soda, 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 cool completely before removing.
• Indulge!
