The last TWD recipe for this year is Touch-of-Crunch Chocolate Cake. This cake is baked in a pie plate, and cooks up with a crunchy, crackly top and a fudgy centre.
The recipe makes 12 servings, so I cut it down to a sixth to make something more my size. The crunch in my cake came from poppy seeds.
I dusted the top of the cooled cake with icing sugar before serving with icecream (the red currants are decorative for a little Christmas cheer):
This cake was truly quite delicious. It is a good one to have on hand, especially as it can be made in advance for guests. It also doesn't require a stand mixer - it is all made in the bowl by hand.
To see what everyone else made this week and what they thought of it, visit the LYL section of the TWD website.
