Yet another chocolate cake

Anita and I are off to Jen and Julian's tonight for dinner and board games. So dessert is my responsibility. It's time to try out a recipe that Lindsey gave to me and has raved about - and it's a chocolate cake, so it should be good given her Belgian roots!

Swedish Chocolate Cake
Ingredients
  • 120g Butter
  • 240g Sugar
  • 2tsp Vanilla extract
  • 4tbsp (approx 30g) Cocoa powder
  • 2 Eggs
  • 70g Plain flour
Method
  1. Melt the butter and mix in the sugar, cocoa powder and vanilla extract.
  2. Add the eggs and combine.
  3. Sift in the flour and stir until mixed.
  4. Pour into a lined cake tin and bake at 160C/Gas Mark 3 for 35-40 mins.
Here it is ready for the oven.And straight from it. I think it looks pretty good!

    Hi Brian,
    sorry to disillusion you - but this cake is anything but belgian - its swedish!
    I gave Lindsey that recipe and my family got it from a swedish friend. So to give it its proper name, this is an Ander's Chocolate Cake. Enjoy eating it, it does look nice.

    Oh, I know - I meant that given Lindsey's Belgian (give or take), that it must be good if she likes it! Thanks for the recipe by the way - it went down rather well!
