Rich chocolate birthday cake recipe

This rich flavoursome cake is the perfect dessert to celebrate your dad’s birthday with. Follow the step-by-step directions to bake this perfect dessert of all time!

Ingredients for the cake:

200g plain flour

200g caster sugar

40 grams cocoa (the better the quality, the richer is your cake)

5ml (approx 1 tsp baking powder)

175 grams butter (Unsalted preferable)

2 ml soda bicarbonate

2 large-sized eggs

175 ml sour cream

10 ml vanilla essence

Method:

Bring all the ingredients, including the butter, to room temperature. Mix the flour, sugar, and the raising agent well in a bowl. Add the soft butter till the mixture turns creamy. To this mixture, add cocoa powder, sour cream, and eggs. Beat well, and add the vanilla drops in the end. Pour the batter into a greased baking tray. Bake the mixture at 356°F.

Check the cake if done with a knife. You can either bake the batter as one large cake or divide it into half for two cakes.

Icing preparation:

80 grams of unsalted butter

300 grams of icing sugar

120 grams of sour cream

175 grams of dark chocolate

15ml of golden syrup

5ml of vanilla essence

Frosting method:

Before starting the process, melt the butter and chocolate together. Cool and add the golden syrup, sour cream, and vanilla essence. Mix this well. Blend icing sugar in a food processor to remove all the possible lumps. Add the icing sugar to the above mixture, or you can also pour the chocolate batter into the blender containing icing sugar for a smooth consistency.

Cut the cake into two cakes and pour the icing batter in the center. If you have already baked the cake as two, you can place one on top of the other. Sandwich the icing between the two layers of cake, and also follow the same over the top of the cake and its sides. This requires a lot of patience and art. Sprinkle chocolate flakes on top for further decoration and leave the cake in the refrigerator to cool.
