Hi!
I have had quite a few requests to share the recipe for this cake from my friends so I could not avoid listening the request of my lovely friends and readers. This cake is half chocolate and half plain to satisfy everyone's needs. It is best to have it fresh the on the same day. Reason being the honeycomb (caramel topping) melted off the next day, or maybe it was a warm day. Either way anything tastes nice the day it is made. It has a cheeky surprise for my nut lovers. I am a huge nut lover. I love any nuts so why not be a bit naughty? Without further ado, here we go!!!
Ingredients:
Honeycomb:
- 1 Cup Sugar
- Pinch of Golden Syrup (optional)
- 2 Tsp Baking Soda
Cake:
- 1 Cup Butter
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 4 Eggs
- 1 Cup Flour
- 3/4 Tbsp Baking Powder
- Nut powder to your liking (grate a handful of your choice of nuts and grate them in a grater)
- 2 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
- Chocolate of own choice for decoration/topping
Method:
To make the honeycomb
- Melt the sugar and the golden syrup together in a pan, making sure it does not burn. For that heat it in low heat.
- When all the sugar is melted, add the baking soda, this will make it foam up. Stir for a bit and lay it in a tray lined with baking paper. Let it cool and solidify.
To make the cake
- In a bowl, add the butter and sugar and beat till mixed well.
- When they are mixed well and sugar is well incorporated, add an egg at a time and mix it up.
- Sift in the flour and baking powder together and mix it up until well incorporated.
- Add the nut powder and give it a final mix.
- Remove 2-3 tbsp of the cake mix in a small bowl.
- Add the cocoa powder and give it a good mix.
- Pour the white cake mix in your desired cake pan.
- Add dollops of the chocolate cake mix in random places and with a toothpick, swirl around to make marble design.
- Preheat you oven to 180 C for 5 minutes
- Put your cake to bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes or until cooked.
- When done, remove and leave to cool.
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and spread around the desired places of the cake. Top it off with small pieces of the honeycomb around the cake.
Serve!!!
Here is how I did it! I made them into cakes and cupcakes.
Make sure to come back on Wednesday as I will be posting another recipe requested by my friends. Hint hint it's a savoury snack...
