Chocolate birthday cake step by step
- Get the ingredients together. Take the butter out of the fridge 30 mins before making the cake so it has time to soften.
- Beat the eggs – don't just give them a half-hearted stir with a fork. Well beaten eggs seem to make the sponge lighter..
- Put the sugar and butter in the mixer and make a cream.
- Add some egg….
- Add some of the flour, cocoa and baking powder with the mixer on medium speed. Keep adding egg and flour alternately until both have been used up..
- Turn to a higher speed and mix for a minute or so.
- Pour the mixture into a lined baking pan (better to use greaseproof paper but I didn't have any) or a lightly greased non-stick one.
- Put in the pre-heated oven at 170° for 40 minutes..
- Take out and pierce with a fork. If the prongs come out clean the cake is done. If they don't then leave for another couple of minutes.
- Empty onto a rack and leave to cool.
- When the cake is cool, put the icing sugar and cocoa into a bowl.
- Melt the butter over a low heat, make a hole on the icing sugar and add the melted butter.
- Stir to make the fudge icing.
- If it is too thick to spread then add a tiny dash of milk but go carefully – just a few drops make a big difference.
- Put the icing on the cake.
- Put a wide knife under very hot tap water and spread the icing.
- Decorate with smarties and, when the moment comes.
- …. with candles!! Sing loudly, make a wish (the birthday person) while making the first cut and enjoy!!!.
