One Pot Chocolate Cake

January 28

If you’re looking for a gooey chocolate fix, you’ve come to the right place! This cake recipe makes for a quick yet impressive dessert option and uses basic ingredients that you probably already have in your cupboards.

  • serves Serves 8
  • time 40 mins

Method

  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4. Grease a 20cm/8" cake tin with a removable base, grease the tin and line with parchment paper.
  2. 2. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Remove from the heat, add the sugar and eggs and mix well. Add the flour, cocoa and vanilla and mix until combined. Pour into the prepared cake tin and place in the oven for 20 minutes.

  3. TOP TIP

    The cake won’t rise dramatically but you should be left with a set top and gooey middle.
  4. 4. Serve in slices, with a dusting of icing sugar and a handful of raspberries. You can also add a little whipped cream to top it off.

Chocolate Lava Cake

October 01

Anyone who has failed to make a molten chocolate pudding with a lava-like interior should take solace in this fool-proof variation. Just like the original, this recipe relies on good quality dark chocolate and only the smallest amount of flour to get that irresistible oozing interior and slightly cakey surround. If you choose to make this as a dessert for friends and family, it’s worth noting that you can prepare the batter in advance to bake in the oven just before you’re ready to serve.
