Ingredients for Vanilla Chocolate Cake:
100g unsalted butter, softened.
150g icing sugar
2 eggs
150 self raising flour
3tbs whole milk
1 vanilla pod
100g milk chocolate chips
1 Yolli Plumcake Baking Mould
To decorate:
100g milk chocolate bar or Icing sugar
Cocoa
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180° / Gas mark 4.
Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and icing sugar for 3-4 minutes until well combined. One at a time, beat in the eggs. With the machine still running on a low speed, stir in the milk. Meanwhile, split open the vanilla pod and stir in the vanilla seeds. Sift in the flour and continue to mix on a medium speed until you have a smooth dough. Stir through the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the
Yolli Plumcake Baking Mould and bake for about 45 minutes until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Once cooked, remove the cake from the oven and cool completely in the tin before cutting into thick slices to serve.
To make the decorative chocolate drizzle: chop and melt 100g chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Cool briefly, then trickle, pipe or spread the melted chocolate all over the loaf. In case of extreme chocolate addiction, garnish with extra milk chocolate chips for an extra gorgeous cover. For a lighter topping, sprinkle your cake with the icing sugar and cocoa powder.
Store the cake in an airtight container which should keep up to 5 days.
