Hari ni mak mertua Mak Long jemput makan sempena harijadi pak mertua Mak Long minggu lepas. Lewat seminggu sebab minggu lepas tak semua ahli keluarga dapat hadir. Mak Long bawak kek coklat yang Mak Long dah ubahsuai untuk sesuaikan dengan keperluan diabetik.
This cake was made using Delia Smith’s all-in-one quick sponge recipe with a slight twist.
Ingredients:
8 oz of ground almond
8 oz of butter
4 eggs
6 heaped tbsp of Splenda
4 tbsp of full-cream milk
2 tsp of baking powder
2 tbsp of cocoa powder
For the ganache
1 bar of 70% dark chocolate
50 ml of double cream
a knob of butter
For the filling
30 ml of double cream
1 tsp of splenda
1 vanilla pod
Heat the oven to gas mark 3. Prepare the cake tin by greasing it with softened butter and dredging it with flour. Sieve together the self-raising flour, baking powder and the cocoa powder. Add the rest of the ingredients except the milk. Beat thoroughly. Add the milk and mix again. Pour the mixture into the cake tin. Bake for 40 minutes or until skewer test comes up clean.
Turn onto the cooling rack. Meantime prepare the filling and ganache. Scrape the seeds off the vanilla pod and add to the cream. Add splenda and whip until thick.
Heat the cream for the ganache. Break up the chocolate bar into little pieces. Pour the heated cream over the chocolate and stir until all melted. Add the knob of butter and stir again.
To assemble, slice the cake in half horizontally. Fill the cake with vanilla cream and pour the ganache over the cake.
