Steps

4hrs
  1. 1

    Mix all the dry ingredients in a paper bag and all the wet ingredients in a bowl.

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, mix all the wet and dry ingredients and whisk.

  3. 3

    When you attain a fine mixture with no flour or bubbles its ready.

  4. 4

    Preheat your oven at 180° for 20mims

  5. 5

    Spread butter in your baking pan and cover with a bit of flour.

  6. 6

    Add your mixture into the pan and set it at the middle of the oven. Cook for about 30mins before the first check.

  7. 7

    Dip a knife at the center to check whether the cake is cooked all through. Its ready when the knife comes out clean.

  8. 8

    For the icing I melted my dark chocolate and added a spoon full of butter to it. I covered the whole cake with dark chocolate.

  9. 9

    I melted the white chocolate on a flat surface on a foil paper and let it solidify to form a nice round chocolate plate.

  10. 10

    I placed the white chocolate onto the cake then using the dark chocolate formed the dripping sides. I then added chocolate shavings to the wet drip to decorate.

  11. 11

    I then used the remaining dark chocolate to write the name on the white surface.

Thanks for posting quite a lot of chocolate cake recipes. I see a lot of Kenya authors posting only chocolate cakes. Is chocolate cake kenyan tradition? If you have more variety of cake recipes, please keep posting them. Thanks again for your support as always. Best, Owen
