Karen’s Pantry: Chocolate cake

So my mom had a brunch with a few friends she invited over,I was searching and searching in my head trying to find the perfect cake that would please everyone and CLING i just had an idea: why don't i make a chocolate cake with covered of chocolate frosting and some Cadbury milk chocolate fingers on the corner, mmmm simple but delightful cake.

Now the steps are easy, follow mine:

Preheat the oven to 170° (325°F) Gas 3

Chocolate Cake recipe:

For 12 servings

1 1/2 cup or 170 g all purpose flour

3 tbsp dark cocoa powder (i simply adore van houten)

2 tsp baking powder

2 pinches of salt

220 g caster sugar ( add as much as you want)

2 tsp vanilla extract

3/4 cup of milk

100 g unsalted butter

2 eggs

For the incredible chocolate frosting:

300 g icing sugar

100 g unsalted butter

40 g cocoa powder

40 ml whole milk (you can add more if it's not enough just don't over add)

1. Beat the icing sugar, butter and cocoa powder together in a freestanding electric mixer on medium slow speed until the mixture comes together and is well mixed

2. Add the milk to the butter mixture a couple of spoonfuls at a time

3. Once all the milk has been incorporated, turn the mixer up to high speed. Continue beating until the frosting is light and fluffy about 5 min. The longer the frosting is beaten, the fluffer and lighter it becomes. When the cake is cool spread the frosting on it.
