Most people will like this cake because of its sweet flavour. Unlike most chocolate cakes it is not dark in colour and it is not as bitter. The icing will not be very thick but I think that it looks great when some of it is starting to drip down the side of the cake. Then dust it in icing sugar and you will have one beautiful but simple milk chocolate cake!
So here is the recipe for the milk chocolate cake recipe-
1 two layer chocolate cake or two small cakes.-
- 125 g dark chocolate
- 3 tbsp milk
- 150 g butter
- 150 g caster sugar
- 3 eggs
- 200 g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
For Icing
- 100g of plain or milk chocolate
- 4 tablespoons of cold water
- 30g of butter
- 4-6 tablespoons of icing sugar
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 6
- Grease and line tins. If you are using silicon like I did then just make sure they are completely clean.
- Melt chocolate in microwave in 20 second intervals stirring after each time stir until completely melted or melt in a heat proof bowl over simmering water. Then set it aside.
- Beat butter and sugar together until smooth and fluffy.
- Beat eggs in to the mixture one at a time.
- Then fold in melted chocolate.
- Sift flour, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder in to the mixture and gently fold it in.
- Bake for about 25 minets or until a tooth pic is inserted and comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool before icing.
- For icing- Place chocolate, water and butter in a heat proof bowl and melt slowly over a pan of simmering water.
- Sift icing sugar in to the melted chocolate and mix until smooth.
- If it is too thick add water if it is too thin add more icing sugar.
- Then pour over cooled cake a sift with icing sugar.
I hope you enjoy my Milk Chocolate Cake recipe!
