Title: Isaac & Scout's Christmas Cake
Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Chocolate
Yield: 12 Servings
225 g Butter; softened
300 g Caster sugar
4 md Eggs: beaten
Zest of 1 large orange
5 tb Milk
450 g Self-raising flour; sifted
MMMMM------------------------TO DECORATE-----------------------------
200 g (2 bars) milk chocolate
100 g Bar dark chocolate
100 g Bar white chocolate
Edible gold or silver balls
Butter two cake tins, 24cm and 18cm, and line the bases
with parchment paper. Heat oven to 180C/360F/gas 4.
Beat the butter and sugar in a bowl until light and
creamy. Gradually beat in the eggs and orange zest,
adding some flour with the last few additions to prevent
curdling. Using a metal spoon, fold in the remaining
flour and milk. Split the mix between the tins and
smooth the tops.
Bake the cakes together, 30-35 mins for the smaller and
40-45 mins for the larger, until golden and springy.
Cool in the tins, then turn out on a rack to cool fully.
Break milk and dark chocolate into a bowl and melt over
a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally. Melt
white chocolate the same way. Peel the paper from the
cakes and sit the largest on a plate. Spread a small
blob of chocolate in the middle and sit the smaller cake
on top. Drizzle with chocolate, sprinkle with edible
gold or silver balls and leave to set. Keep in an
airtight container.
