This one is from The WI cook book....Best Kept Secrets of the W.I. Cakes and Biscuits
Chocolate Brownie Loaf Cake
150g butter
50g plain chocolate
200g brown sugar
2 eggs
vanilla essence
50g plain flour + 1 tsp baking powder
150g milk chocolate chopped (optional)
Melt the butter and dark chocolate in a bowl over simmering hot water.
Put the sugar, eggs and a few drops of vanilla essence in a bowl and whisk them really well together until foamy. Fold in the flour and baking powder carefully. Then stir in the melted butter and chocolate mixture (optional stir in the chopped chocolate).
Pour mixture into lined 2lb loaf tin.
Bake at Gas 4/180C/160C fan oven for 40 - 55 minutes until the cake is firm and skewer comes out clean (cover with foil for the last 15 minutes if it starts to burn).
Remove from oven and leave in tin for 10 minutes before cooling on wire rack.
This is very delicious and is firm enough to be cut into very thin slices......but why would you!

Looks nice to me, but a thick slice here please. x
ReplyDeleteI have whizzed over your post Sue as I no longer eat cake and that slice looks too tempting to dwell on.
ReplyDeleteNow that sounds wonderful
ReplyDeleteSay no more the cake sounds delicious.

I’ve just copied your recipe down looks just my kind of cake. Only one problem right now, I’ve given up chocolate for Lent , but not to worry as just before Easter we are having a coffee morning at our craft club in aid of Marie Curie hospice, so along with my fruit cakes and lemon drizzle I will use your recipie for choclate loaf. Many thanks Sue for posting it
ReplyDeleteHope it sells well at the sale
DeleteOooooh you are naughty. Here's me trying to get back on track with losing weight and now I just have to try that cake....lol.
ReplyDeleteHugs-x-
Sorry!
DeleteThat sounds a good cake and better than my baking disasters yesterday (which were actually the fault of a faulty oven in one instance). It's always nice to try out a new recipe.
ReplyDeleteSo tempting. Mumbai guy has hit your blog. It's the third blog that I've read this morning that he's posted on.
ReplyDeleteI think I deleted it twice today already!
DeleteI'm going to save this one to try! Sounds good!
ReplyDeleteI am sorely tempted, yum!
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely! I used to bake quite a bit but there are only three of us here now and we don't eat as many sweets as we used to :(
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful! Unfortunately, I think I would be tempted to add a big dollop of whipped cream or - I've had a great idea! - coffee ice cream.
ReplyDeleteI shouldn't have read this.
ReplyDeleteOh my and now I am craving brownies, or a piece of cake.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
