Becky's Organic Chocolate cake
Posted by tyan (Singapore, Singapore) on 4 September 2007 in Food & Cuisine.
A p/blogger who has become a dear friend,Rebecca, made this chocolate cake for her beautiful daughter, Elise and shared the recipe with me. You can go to this post to see how adorable Elise is as she 'plunges' into the cake.
So i decided to call this cake,'Becky's Organic chocolate Cake',(Rebecca,i hope you dont mind me using Becky,sounds more endearing for a cake,lol)
Here is her recipe:
Basic cake ingredients :
- 125g organic self-raising flour
- 2 large organic eggs
- 125g organic butter
- 125g organic demerera sugar
- 30g organic raisins
Cream together butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs. Add half of chocolate sauce (see below) and flour, whisk all together. Add raisins into the mix for extra fun. :)
Bake in centre of preheated oven at 180degC for approx. 30 minutes. then, voila! :)
Chocolate sauce :
- 30g organic cocoa powder (i use green & black's, but guess any reputable brand should do)
- 150ml organic chocolate milk/chocolate soy milk
- 3 teaspoons organic demerera sugar
Stir together in saucepan over low fire until all cocoa dissolved, then pour half into cake mixture, and save the other half as chocolate sauce to drizzle over the finished cake :)
I followed her recipe and made this chocolate cake,and Rebecca,Caleb loves it! And hub brought half of it to treat the colleagues sitting around him.:)

@Rebecca: thanks so much for your wonderful words of encouragement Becky! Actually,i did this 3 times!And the best was the 3rd one..i did the 2nd one for my students when they came last week and it turned out in crumbles.Realised it was because i did not mix the ingredients according to sequence,then it dawned upon me how impt it was to follow instructions to the tee!lol..thanks for giving me such great honour...i love anne geddes' photos since young!
ps the bear was a 'door gift' last year on Christmas,somebody works in OCBC and got so many such cute bears...they were giving them out to kids before the service..this kind lady saw Caleb sitting on my swelling tummy(i was carrying him) and came over and gave me one!lol.
