Glazed Pound Chocolate Cake

I use 125g of each ingredients instead of 1 pound (454g) each to make my ‘Basic Pound Cake’. I added 125g melted Dark Chocolate to it to make this chocolate cake, but the recipe has been altered slightly. Now I am happy to share this recipe. Icing is optional but it makes the cake look great and yummy.

125 g

(OR 1/2 cup) Caster Sugar

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat oven to 170°C. Grease a loaf tin and line the base and sides with baking paper.

* Step 2

Combine Self-Raising Flour, Almond Meal and Cocoa Powder in a bowl and set aside.

* Step 3

Beat the softened Butter in a mixing bowl with a whisk until smooth. Add 1/4 cup Sugar and beat until creamy. Add Egg Yolks Vanilla, and mix well. Add melted Chocolate and mix well.

* Step 4

Beat Egg Whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/4 cup Caster Sugar and beat until combined well and glossy.

* Step 5

Add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture and mix well. Then gently fold in the Egg Whites mixture. DO NOT over-mix it.

* Step 6

Pour the mixture into the loaf tin and bake for 40 minutes or until cooked through. Stand the cake in the tin for 5 minutes as it is quite soft, then turn onto a wire rack to cool.

* Step 7

To make the icing, combine Icing Sugar and Milk in a bowl and mix well until smooth. If you need to make it softer, add extra Milk, but only a small mount at a time. Spread the icing over the cooled Chocolate Cake.
