'Mum's Famous Cake'

Bit more effort involved here... but not much more!


A yummy cake, with icing that is extraordinary. 


100g butter
200g chocolate (125g and 75g lots)
50g golden syrup (about 2 T)
50ml yogurt (any flavor, I have used apricot, and also strawberry)
175g brown sugar
3t vanilla essence
4 eggs (thank goodness I have laying chooks!)
250g flour (about 2C)
3t baking powder
50g cocoa
1 jar berry preserve (or less, depending on how much you use! I only use about 1/2 a small jar)
150g icing sugar.


Need a 20cm cake tin, and oven at 180.


Melt butter, 125g choc and golden syrup.
Remove from heat and add (1 at a time, mixing between each) yogurt, sugar, van ess, eggs. 
Sift flour, bk pdr and cocoa together then add to choc mixture.
Whisk till smooth.


Pour into cake tin and bake for 50 mins. (Keep an eye on it, as mine cooks in about 45 mins).


Cool cake. Cut in half and spread bottom half with preserve. Put top half back on.
Icing - Melt 75g choc and beat in 75g preserve. Add icing sugar, and enough water to make thick and creamy. Spread over cake... Serve!
