To celebrate the return of the Great British Bake Off, we are sharing our recipe for this delicious chocolate fudge cake. Even better – it’s gluten free! We used ground almonds in this recipe in replacement of wheat flour, which is a tasty alternative. GBBO is back at 8pm on Channel 4 tonight!
Ingredients
For the cake:
- 200g Dark Chocolate
- 120g Unsalted Butter
- 165g Caster Sugar
- 3 Large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 17g Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 190g Almond Meal/Ground Almonds
For the glaze:
- 150g Icing Sugar
- 27g Cocoa Powder
- 2 tbsp Water
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
Equipment
- Glass bowl
- Small saucepan
- Mixing bowl
- Electric whisk
- Wooden spoon
- 2 x 18cm round baking trays
- Skewer
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170C.
- Butter and line 2, 18cm, baking trays.
-
Melt the chocolate and butter in a glass bowl over a saucepan of boiling water, stirring in between until smooth.
-
Whisk in the caster sugar. Add 3 large eggs and vanilla extract, whisking well until combined and smooth.
-
Switch to a wooden spoon. Add cocoa powder, baking powder and almond meal, fold through until it is just combined as to not overmix.
-
Pour batter into the baking trays, bake for 20-25 minutes until the top has a thin crust and a skewer comes out clean.
-
Cool the cake in the baking trays for 10 minutes, and leave on a cooling rack. Cool completely on rack before carefully removing the baking tray.
- While the cakes are cooling, mix together all of the ingredients for the glaze with an electric whisk.
-
Pour your chocolate glaze between the layers, and on top of the cake, and enjoy!
