New cake =o)

[RobPL]

I made this last night.
It's a chocolate orange cake with a clotted cream layer.
8 slices, each one is about 3.5 carbs.
It's so yummy hehe.

The orange has all sunk to the bottom which is that pale layer.

Looks amazing, @RobPL - bet it's delicious! Would you be happy to share the recipe? I'd love to try it.

Looks lovely

Looks good , what's the recipe is it almond flour based ?

 

[RobPL]

It's the decadent choc cake I mentioned in another thread.
No flour at all. The rising is done by eggs.
I changed the recipe by using 6 tablespoons of truvia rather than the 180g the recipe says, 100g of 85% cooking choc from asda or Tesco (the one with 17g of carbs in the bar) and using orange flavour instead of vanilla.
The recipe is at http://www.djfoodie.com/Decadent-Chocolate-Cake

Oh and then sliced it after and put the clotted cream in when having a bit.

My words are washed away by drool

If I told you my birthday was a couple of weeks ago, would that guilt you into making one for me?!

 

[RobPL]

I have no time to make you a cake, I'm too busy eating mine haha.

 

[Pink_Minx]

OK, fair enough. You can't blame a girl for trying, though!

What's your favourite version? I'm going to give one a go for Easter. Mind you, I might have to do a few trial runs before I present to the family! ;-)

 

[RobPL]

My fave is the choc orange. The flavouring is a lot higher in carbs than peppermint but it's only a teaspoon so doesn't really matter.
The cupcakes didn't turn out well as the paper stuck to the bottom.

 

[Pink_Minx]

Thanks for the info - I'll let you know how it turns out!

Oof, paper stuck to your bottom?? Nasty! ;-P

 

[RobPL]

I'm hoping you like it )

 

[Pink_Minx]

Which - the cake or the bottom-paper?! :-D

 

[RobPL]

Lol.

 

[Kyi]

The orange has all sunk to the bottom which is that pale layer.

Next time this does this, flip the bottom to the middle and have an orange filling between 2 chocolate. Inventiveness hides a multitude of problems.

 

[Snapsy]

Thanks for the recipe link, @RobPL - shall give it a go!

 

[RobPL]

I don't mind it actually, it has made the bottom really nice and moist.

 

[RobPL]

Let me know what you think Snapsy.
