Chocolate Heart Shape Cake

Friday, October 28, 2011 2:19

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

When I saw Hearty Bakes posted her Chocolate Buttons recipe, I immediately fell in love with it and told myself I’m going to make them for my friend’s birthday. Since my dear friend loves anything in heart shape, I decided to use Sarah’s silicone mould (SiliconeMoulds.Com & here) to make this cute Heart Shape Chocolate Cake for her birthday that is today. You may wonder how come my cake looked so patchy and black. Hmmm … well, I’d actually used valrhona cocoa powder and already reduced the cocoa powder to 35g instead of 55g and I didn’t make swirl, just pipe the plain and dark batter alternately in the moulds and this was how it turned out …. hahaa … don’t judge by the outward appearance, the cake was soft and the dark chocolate gave a strong fragrant flavour. Anyway make sure you check on this beautiful post at Hearty Bakes, you’ll definitely agree with me that her pictures of the Chocolate Buttons are very pretty.

Chocolate Heart Shape Cake

Ingredients (yields 9 heart shapes)

150g Butter (softened)
135g Sugar
3 Eggs
200g Self-raising flour
8 tbsp Milk
1 tsp Vanilla extract
35g Cocoa powder (Valrhona)

some melted chocolate (I used leftover chocolate ganache cream)

Method:

Preheat oven at 180deg c, grease mould and dust with flour.
Whisk butter, sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla extract and flour until smooth and well-mixed.
Divide batter into two portions and mix one with cocoa powder, mix well.
Then transfer into piping bags. Pipe plain and chocolate batter alternately onto moulds till 3/4 full and bake for about 18-20 minutes or until well risen and springy to touch.
