Chocolate Custard Cake
This cake is easy to make, uses items most of us already have in our pantry and looks great when finished. Its so easy to prepare and makes a nice change from a chocolate cake.
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 60 minutes
Serves: 8
Ingredients
4 eggs, room temperature, separated
1 tbsp water
150 g sugar
125 g butter, melted
65 g plain flour
50 g cocoa powder
500 ml lukewarm milk
pinch salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp vinegar
Method
Preheat oven to 160C/140C fan forced and line cake tin of your choice.
Place egg yolks, water and sugar into a mixing bowl and beat on high until eggs are light and creamy.
Add the melted and cooled butter, vanilla extract and salt. Mix well until batter is light and fluffy.
Combine the flour and cocoa powder in a bowl and mix. Once combined add in batches to the batter, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
Slowly mix in the warmed milk. Your mixture will now be very liquid and look a lot like chocolate milk.
In a separate bowl, add the egg whites and vinegar and beat until the egg whites are stiff.
Fold the egg whites into the batter, the batter does not need to be completely smooth.
Pour mixture into prepared tin and bake for 45-60 minutes. Your cake is ready when it is firm to touch but still a bit wobbly in the centre.
Cool completely and then sprinkle with icing sugar or cocoa powder and serve.
