directions

  • Preheat the oven to 180 C or 350 F (slightly less for fan assisted). Grease 8 inch cake tin or pan.
  • Use your favourite chocolates. Any good chocolate will bring yummy results!
  • In a bowl, beat butter till it's fluffy. Beat in the brown sugar.
  • In seperate bowl, mix flour and baking powder.
  • Mix flour into butter mixture alternately with beaten eggs.
  • Pour mixture into cake tin or pan. A little at a time, sprinkle chocoaltes on top, and press them carefully into the mixture, not too far near the bottom.
  • Bake for 40 minutes.
  • After cake has cooled, in a double boiler melt butter, add chocolates JUST UNTIL MELTED. Spread onto cooled cake.
  • You can pick and mix, perhaps use milk chocolates in the cake and dark on top, etc.
  • Also, you can forego the chocolates and be very creative! This cake is BEAUTIFUL with crushed lavender and rosemary and no frosting, or with pine nuts and chopped dates for Christmas. We also like to cut the cake in half and use homemade fruit preserves instead.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I grew up globally. Literally. So I have a love for many, many various foods. My favourites, though, are the ones cooked for me by friends in their homes. I love also love music, photographs, books (I really love antiquarian bookshops), films.... I am learning the cello. I hope someday that will sound like music, ha ha!
