Toblerone Cake

To me a Toblerone is normally a Christmas chocolate, however I recently stayed with some friends and Toblerone was always available for a post dinner nibble. It reminded me of how much I enjoy this chocolate so I decided to combine Toblerone with a basic chocolate cake to create a nougaty chocolatey divine Sunday afternoon treat (n.b. can be eaten at any time, however I am baking on a lonely Sunday).


As there are only two of us in my house, I am making a miniature cake - you can double these ingredients to make a standard size sandwich cake.

 Ingredients:

 For the cake - 

 2 triangles of Toblerone, roughly chopped
100g plain flour
100g caster sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder 
1/4 teaspoon bicarb of soda
20g cocoa powder
90g butter
75g creme fraiche

 For the butter cream icing - 

50g soft butter
100g icing sugar
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 triangle of Toblerone chopped for sprinkling on top of the cake

 Method:

 Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (fan) or 200 degrees non  fan assisted. Grease two tins ready for the cake mixture.

 Add all of the ingredients into a bowl, and then mix well into a thick batter. Pour this into the two prepared tins and put in the oven for 20 minutes.



 Check the cake with a skewer after 20 minutes, and if it comes out clean place on a cooling rack. If the cake needs a little longer cook for another 5 minutes and test again.

 Once cool, turn out of the tins and allow to cool fully before icing.

 To make the icing, beat the butter until it is nice and soft, then add the icing sugar and cocoa. When this is thoroughly mixed, spread half on the the bottom half of the cake, then sandwich the second layer of the cake on top. Use the remaining icing to spread over the top of the cake and then sprinkle the chopped Toblerone to finish.


Sit back with a nice slice of cake and a cup of tea and enjoy!

BBC Good Food Caramel Brownies

Another get together with friends has prompted some more baking (whilst the baby is sleeping) and the salted caramel cover recipe from a BBC Good Food issue from a while back caught my eye. I have been storing this recipe waiting for a good excuse to bake it, and I can say (after scoffing a few), these brownies do not disappoint and will be made again. Brownies are very easy to make, the one stumbling point I often find is the temperature of the oven and the time they are baked for - as ovens vary vastly this is quite hard to write into a recipe, but I have a fan assisted fairly new over which bakes quite hot. They key for baking the brownies is checking after the stated time, and they should still be a little liquid in the middle if you want moist squishy squares. Leaving them to cool completely in the tin is also an essential, as if they are cut too early they may still be too liquid. Time to make batter - around 15 minutes Baking time - 35 minutes depending on your oven I...

Classic Victoria Sponge

Hello friends, As we are in Wimbledon week, what better cake to celebrate with than the classic Victoria Sponge, with a cream and strawberries filling. This is a beautiful looking cake and an ideal desert to the countless BBQs and outdoor meals as we celebrate the coming of summer. Ingredients: 175g softened butter 175g caster sugar 175g self raising flour 3 duck eggs 250ml double cream 1 tbsp icing sugar 1 tub of strawberries, halved  Method: This makes an 18 inch sandwich cake. Preheat oven to 180C/ 170C fan assisted. In a bowl beat together the sugar and butter until it is pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and mix well.

Fold in the flour gently, and pour the batter into two greased sandwich tins, then put into the oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven when golden and allow to cool fully. Whilst cooling, whip the double cream until it f...

Nutella cookies!

Hello friends, So..... Nutella. Anyone else obsessed with this? I love the chocolate-hazelnut yumminess and will spread it over pancakes, toast, muffins, crumpets, anything really that seems like a good combo. So it struck me the other day, that I haven't made the most appealing bake - Nutella cookies! This recipe only has three ingredients, it is so simple and makes gooey cookies that won't stick around for long!  Ingredients : 130g plain flour 260g Nutella 1 egg Extra Nutella for the gooey center Method: Preheat the oven to 180C/ 160C fan assisted. Mix together the three cookie ingredients and beat well until the dough is consistent. It will be quite a greasy dough and will stick together well. Take a spoonful of mixture and roll into a ball, flatten slightly and make a little well in the middle. Put a teaspoon of Nutella into the well and then take another spoonful of dough, roll and flatten then cover the Nutella. Press the two halves together to make ...
