Moist, Rich Chocolate Almond Cake

Ingredients

250g butter, chopped
1 1/2 cup (375ml) water
1 cup (220g) caster sugar
1/3 cup (35g) cocoa powder
2/3 cup (100g) dark chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup ground almonds (almond meal)
1 1/2 cups (225g) plain flour, sifted
1 teaspoon bi-carbonate of soda (bi-carb soda)
1/2 teaspoon almond essence

Baking Pan

Spray a 20cm (8") round 6.5cm (2 1/2") deep cake baking pan with non-stick baking spray. Line the base and sides with non-stick baking paper. This is important as this cake will stick to the pan if you do not take this step.

Baking Temperature

The oven should be preheated to 160C (325F)

Method

1. Combine the butter, water, sugar, cocoa powder, chocolate and ground almonds together in a medium sized saucepan.
   
2. Place over gentle heat. Bring to the boil whilst stirring. You need to stir until everything has dissolved to stop the mix from burning. Be careful that the mix does not boil over.
   
3. Simmer gently for 5 minutes.
   
4. Remove from the heat. Cover with a lid and leave to cool to room temperature.
   
5. Whisk in gently the flour, bi-carb soda and almond essence into the cooled liquid. Whisk until all lumps are removed. Do not over whisk; you are not trying to add air into the batter just remove any flour lumps.
   
6. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan. Remember the baking pan must be lined with non-stick baking paper. The batter will be quite liquid and will level naturally. Tap the tin on the kitchen bench three times to remove any large air bubbles.
   
7. Bake in a preheated oven set at 160oC (325oF) for 75 - 80 mins. The top of the cake will crack. Don’t worry the cracks will settle and will be hidden when you turn the cake out of the tin.
   
8. Remove from the oven. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins. Gently turn out onto the cake plate that you plan to serve your chocolate almond cake on and leave to cool. This cake is quite soft whilst still warm which is why I suggest you do not turn out onto a cake wire to cool. Use a flat plate or board lined with non stick baking paper.

Now that you have made and cooled the chocolate cake base you are ready to make the chocolate cake icing.

Chocolate Cake Icing

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups (240g) icing sugar, sifted
1/4 cup (25g) cocoa powder, sifted
50g butter, melted
2 tablespoons (40ml) milk2 tablespoons toasted slivered almonds for decorating

Method

1. Place all ingredients into a medium size mixing bowl.
   
2. Using a wooden spoon beat together until completely combined.
   
3. Beat for 1 minute.

Method of Assembly

• Using a palette knife carefully spread the icing over the top of the cooled cake.
  
• Sprinkle the toasted almonds around the edge of the cake.
  
• Store the cake in a sealed container in a cool position.

Chocolate Plum Cake

Chocolate Plum Cake
5 ripe medium plums
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk (any kind)
1 tbsp coarse sugar, for topping

Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8 or 9-inch round cake pan with aluminum foil and lightly grease. Make sure there is overhang over the sides of the pan.
Halve the plums and remove the pits.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars until light. Beat in cocoa powder, followed by egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Blend in about 1/3 of the flour mixture, followed by half of the milk. Add in half of the remaining flour mixture, followed by the rest of the milk, then add the last of the flour mixture. Stir only until everything is just combined and no streaks of dry ingredients remain. Batter will be fairly thick.

Spread batter into the prepared pan. Arrange 8 of the plum halves around the outside of the pan, and place two at the center, pressing the plums cut side-up into the batter. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached.
Cool completely in the pan, then lift the cake out (using the aluminum foil) to transfer it to a plate before slicing and serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container.

Serves 8-10.
