I have made the chocolate topping before and used it on a butter cake.In this one I added Hazelnuts to it and the results were much much better.So easy and so rich. Ingredients:
75grams butter |
75grams caster sugar |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
75 grams self raising flour |
1/2 tsp baking powder |
25 grams cocoa powder |
50 grams ground almonds |
truffle topping |
350 grams plain chocolate |
100 gram butter |
1 1/4 cups of heavy cream |
75 grams chocolate cake crumbs |
1/3 cup hazelnuts,crushed |
100 grams white chocolate, melted |
6-8 strawberries |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Lightly grease 20 cm cake pan and line the base. Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the eggs, beating well after each addition.
3. Sieve the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder together and fold into the mixture along with the ground almonds. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes or until springy to the touch. Leave to cool completely. Wash and dry the pan and return the cooled cake to the pan.
4. Topping:
