I love an all in one bowl recipe where you have minimal cleaning up after! This great chocolate loaf cake recipe is quick and easy to put together and bakes up so delicious. The wonderful thing about this chocolate loaf cake is that it’s as lovely simply dusted with icing sugar but will happily accept being dressed in melted chocolate or a buttercream, a whipped cream and decorated with some chocolate swirls. I’ve included a recipe for a chocolate icing below if you would like to use that.
I love a recipe you make all in one bowl which is quick and easy and then ends up delicious. While away in the US, I bought a home style magazine and saw this recipe. It’s perfect for the summer when we are lucky enough to get such sweet strawberries.
I used a 9″ springform tin as this cake has a very soft layer in the centre and using a smaller tin might result in the top baking and the centre not quite baking through so the result is not a very high cake but every cake doesn’t have to be high like a Victoria Sponge.
It’s worth making and needs very little other than an optional dusting of icing sugar to serve. Of course if you have an occasion, why not pile some fresh strawberries in the centre and serve with a dollop or two of fresh cream 🙂
