Easy Chocolate Bundt Cake..Give Me All The Chocolate !!!

JUMP TO RECIPE

Well its time to get our Chocolate on !!!!

Especially when Ive Been Gifted some very nice chocolate shards from a company thats local to me …..I do like to support local as much as I can and I can get much more Local than Whittakers Chocolates in Skipton

I will add the link at the bottom of the post for the chocolate

Now aren’t I the lucky one !!! This is not a paid or sponsored post , but I will always be transparent if its free items …..but I only use them if they get The Cauldron Approval

And this choccie certainly did 😍😍😍

So what better way to show case it than with chocolate at every turn !!

In the cake , in the ganache topping and topped off with even more !!!

Can you get a chocolate rush 😂😂😂😂😂

I chose to do this cake in my nordic bundt tin ( Thanks to my dear friend Shari for that item ) as I think it just makes a statement

However you can bake it in two 8′ tins if you prefer ….. but personally invest in a bundt tin they are worth the investment and being British it means more cake and less frosting …. which we love 🙊🙊🙊

Here’s a link to a similar pan ( I’m not on affiliate program so no pennies made from you kicking on 🤣🤣)

So bake to the cake !!! It really is straight forward

But I would advise you make the bakers gloop recipe that I’ve provided …it slides out a dream when you invert it to take it out !!

And worth that little more effort

Ive added a couple of quick videos , both of the gloop and the cake …because then once again you can see how it develops into the cake ( Plus it seems to be the way at the moment 😂😂😂)

So lets bake a cake …..you wont regret it

Give me all the chocolate !!!

This recipe is so easy , one that you could easily get the kids involved in !!

They have the soft middle with chewy outer that fit the bill of a great oatmeal cookie , plus the bursts of soft raisin to boot

The everyday cookie that just keeps giving

My last recipe for 3 to 4 weeks but I will explain that after the recipe

So with that lets bake ( Oh and another video for you to show how easy it is )

Delicious soft and chewy Raisin and Oatmeal cookies

You can use a hand mixer , stand mixer or wooden sppon to make which ever you require

Ingredients

• 125 g Unsalted Plantbased Butter ( I use Flora plant based )
• 100 g Light Brown Sugar
• 75 g White Granulated Sugar
• 3 tbsp Chickpea/ Besan Flour
• 3 tbsp Water
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
• 150 g Gluten Free Plain Flour Blend ( I recommend Doves Farm Freee UK or Pillsbury Us )
• 1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum ( omit if your flour blend contains it )
• 150 g Gluten Free Rolled Oats
• 1 tsp Baking Powder ( make sure it is GF )
• 1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
• 200 g Raisins

Directions

1. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper
2. Add in the Gluten Free plain flour blend , oats, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and xanthan gum , cinnamon and nutmeg ( If using )to bowl and whisk together
3. Add your plant based butter and sugars to a bowl and beat till creamy
4. Mix 3 tbsp of chickpea/ besan flour to 3 tbsp water and mix until smooth
5. Add this to the creamed mixture with the vanilla extract and beat until combined
6. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed and beat until a dough is formed
7. Add in your Raisins and beat mix in until distributed well. I found hand best !!! ( The doughs will be a little tacky )
8. Weigh your cookies out into nine cookie dough balls – about 90g each!
9. Roll your cookie dough into balls (don’t roll it too tightly )and put your cookie dough in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or in the fridge for an hour
10. Whilst the cookie dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 200C / 395 F ( I do not recommend convection for cookies )
11. Take your cookies out of the freezer/fridge and put onto a lined baking tray. I put four to five cookies per tray!
12. Bake the cookies in the oven for 12 minutes
13. Once baked, leave them to cool on the tray for at least 30 minutes,
14. Best eaten on the day but will keep in an air tight container for 3 days ( Just give them a little freshen up in the microwave for 10 seconds or in the oven for a couple of minutes
15. Enjoy
