Oh no, I should be baking bread. So we call it super chocolaty caramel-chocolate -bread.
I'll start with the very basic recipe. Some readers might disagree with me calling this chocolaty one, as we use cocoa instead of chocolate.
It's important to remember: cocoa powder used on this one should be dark cocoa powder with no added sugar!
Cake
150g wheat flour
50g cocoa powder
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/8 teaspoon of love
200g of sugar
90g of butter
1 big egg
2½ deciliters of milk (250g)
To begin, butter a 23cm diameter tray for the cake and add some cocoa powder and put oven on to 180 Celsius degrees.
Mix cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt (and flour) in a bowl. I did not add flour at this point as the original recipe did not mention this.. but it didn't mention adding flour at any point. So I added it last.
Add butter, molten butter and egg and mix with an electric mixer with low or medium speed. When it is mixed well, pour the dough to the buttered and powdered cake tray. The oven might be warm now, so just put the cake in the oven and let it bake for 40-50 minutes.
At this point I noticed I hadn't added the flour, as it wasn't mentioned in the instructions.

You can test when the cake is ready by putting a toothpick in the middle of the cake. If there is no dough stuck on the toothpick, it's ready.
Let the cake cool off.
Filling
100g of sugar
50g of cocoa powder
2 tablespoons of maizena, though I used potato flour
3 and 3/4 deciliters of whipping cream (not whipped)
1 tablespoon of butter
Caramel sauce / Dulce de leche
Mix sugar, cocoa powder and maizena in a kettle. Add the cream while mixing so you can avoid any clumps from forming in the filling.
Put the stove on and start slowly heating the mixture, while mixing it constantly.
According to the recipe, it should start to get thicker and boil, but my filling got really thick somewhat fast and instead of cooking it, it turned into a extremely thick lump, so I took the kettle off the stove and mixed the tablespoon of butter in the filling.
And to make this more interesting, the instructions advised me to put the filling in a bowl (could have left it in the kettle) and.. cover it with plastic, pressing the plastic wrapping on the filling.
When it's covered in plastic, let it cool down a bit and let it cool in the fridge.
When it's cooled down, I cut the cake in half and added the filling in the between. The cake was a bit crumbly, but I managed to save most of the cake.
The filling didn't spread very well, but I just added some caramel sauce/dulce de leche on the filling. You can't have too much of sweet things.
Frosting
1 tablespoon of butter
2 tablespoons of water (you might need more?)
3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
150g of powdered sugar
Add water and butter in a kettle and let the butter melt in the water. Remove the kettle from the hot stove and add cocoa powder. When it is mixed, add the powdered sugar and mix well.
According to the recipe, the frosting should cool off a bit, but my frosting became so thick I had to pour it on the came instantly.
You should be able to pour the frosting on the cake and let it run, but my frosting was so thick I had to spread it with a spoon. I wasn't fast enough and the frosting just stopped moving.
Luckily I could add some nonpareils on the cake so it doesn't look as ugly.
Delicious cake, not a pretty one though.
I'll try to get back to writing fiction posts OR to bake more bread. I've been struggling with creating an autovoter for myself for the past few days so I haven't done anything fun.
Yummy! I wish I would have patience to bake such delisous-looking cakes.
I usually find myself baking cakes made of unripened cheese...only because they are supereasy to make, they have a high success rate (yes, I hate failing :-D) and they do not require significant amount of time.
Oops, I forgot to ask: how long approximately freezing takes?
Well it doesn't need to completely freeze, but some of the parts needed to cool down in fridge for around.. an hour?
This is not very quick cake, not a extremely slow one either - but I still know cakes which are easier and faster. This isn't fun to make though.. I have other cakes I recommend more than this :)
Easy cheesecakes are luckily easy too!
Gimme some :D
I would have, but you upvoted your own comment so I'll give it to Donald Trump instead. Sorry!
Looks like lots of poo. Gimme a spoon. :3
It looks like poo so you want a spoon?
You have a very special appetite ;)
yes...by my experience...if it looks ugly it must taste great!
Any left for me my friend? Looks tasty bro.
It was tasty and sorry, none left for you :(
Well now I know where I stand then 😓
Oh, it does looks delicious @apsu and autovoter??
Autovoter is not working. That fuck*r.
Oh censorship didn't work.
Chocolate cake filled with chocolate and coated with chocolate... sounds good :D
I can tell you, it was good :D A bit chocolaty though, but the caramel softened the taste a bit :)
Omg why you wrote is so long and that detailed? I read it when I'm hungry (really really hungry). And I even licked my lips while reading it. Can't believe it. How it looks so delicious.
I don't like chocolate, this one has cocoa and my weakness is cakes!
And you don't need autovoter, I'll be your autovoter if you post like this hahah.
Because I went through all the work and took a bunch of photos while making the cake. It's not fast normally and when I need to take a good photo of every single phase..
I swear, I will write a lot too.
I need an autovoter as I have decided I need one. (or to be honest I just want one)
can i call you chocolate bread now?
You can call me whatever you want.
Chocolate bread is fine :D
Salivating already, can I have some? @apsu?.
Oh I wish I would have some left for you!
