Easy Chocolate Loaf
When you don't have the time to make a bakery style chocolate cake, this is easy and tastes delicious. I am working on my next cookbook and have updated the recipe. Here is a taste of what's to come...
1 cup flour
2t baking powder
1/4 cup cocoa powder
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs lightly beaten.
1/2 t vanilla extract
125g melted butter
Preheat the oven to 180C.
Sift the dry ingredients.
Mix the eggs, vanilla, milk and slightly cooled butter. Add to the dry ingredients until just mixed.
Place in a greased 14 x 21cm loaf tin and bake for 50 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 min and then remove from the tin. Cover with a dish towel until cold. Then ice.
Icing
Melt 50g dark chocolate.
Sift 140g icing sugar and mix with 125g butter in a mixer. Add the slightly cooled chocolate and mix until combined.
Serve on a rectangular plate and decorate with chocolate curls and fresh roses.
