INGREDIENTS

Chocolate Cake

50 g (½ cup) cocoa powder
175 g (1 ½ cups) self-rising flour OR 170g (1 and ⅜ cups) All-Purpose Flour + 1 ½ Teaspoons Baking Powder
⅛ teaspoon (⅛ teaspoon) salt
230 g (1 cup) superfine sugar
160 ml (⅔ cups) vegetable oil or light olive oil
2 (2) eggs large
2 teaspoon (2 teaspoon) vanilla extract
180 ml (¾ cups) milk

Filling (Optional)

2 cups (2 cups) buttercream

Chocolate Ganache Drizzle

1 cup (6 ⅙ oz) chocolate
½ cup (½ cup) cream

Simple Cake Syrup

⅓ cup superfine sugar
⅓ cup water very hot

Garnish

⅓ cup crushed Whoppers or Maltesers

INSTRUCTIONS

Simple Cake Syrup

Mix sugar and hot water until sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool.

Chocolate Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a bundt pan.
Sift flour, cocoa powder, salt, and sugar into a bowl.
Whisk in milk, oil, vanilla, and eggs until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Pour batter into pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes.
Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Chocolate Ganache Drizzle

Add the chocolate and cream to a microwave safe jug.
Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Cool for 10 minutes before using.

Assembly

Optional: Slice cake for buttercream filling, brushing each layer with cake syrup.
Assemble layers with buttercream in between if used.
Drizzle cake generously with ganache sauce, allowing drips down the sides.
Garnish with crushed Whoppers (Maltesers) or sprinkles of choice.

NOTES

Let the cake cool completely before slicing or adding ganache to prevent breaking.

If the ganache thickens too much, gently reheat it until pourable.

Brushing layers with syrup adds moisture and flavor; don't skip this step if you're slicing the cake.

Use a serrated knife for cleaner slices when cutting your cake.
