I decided on a chocolate cake and Jamie loves white chocolate so I thought I'd make a double chocolate one!
For the cake..
- 100g butter
- 250ml milk
- 100g milk chocolate (melted)
- 15g cocoa powder
- 300g self-raising flour
- 225g sugar
- 2 eggs
For the icing..
- 100g white chocolate (melted)
- 70g icing sugar
- 140g butter
1) Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl and then add the egs, stir until smooth
2) Add in the coco powder and milk
3) Melt the chocolate on a low heat in the microwave and add into the mixture, stir until well combined
4) Add in the flour (use an electric mixer if you have one as it is much easier!)
5) Spread into a lined cake tin and bake on 180 degrees for about 45 minites
6) Once the cake has cooled cut it in half
7) Melt the white chocolate in the microwave
8) Cream together the butter and icing sugar until smooth
9) Add the chocolate and mix well
10) Spread some of the icing onto one half of the cake and then put the other half on top
11) Spread the rest of the icing over the top of the cake
12) Add some chocolate shavings or drizzles of milk chocolate to decorate!
