▶ Recipe for this extravagant cake
Ingredients:
For Baileys top sponge
200g unsalted butter (7 oz)
200g caster sugar (7 oz)
200g self raising flour (7 oz)
2 tsp baking powder
50g cocoa powder (1 ¾ oz)
4 medium eggs
100ml milk (½ cup)
100ml Baileys (½ cup)
Bottom chocolate sponge:
The same amount of ingredients but this time without Baileys and a tsp of vanilla essence instead.
Buttercream:
250g unsalted butter (8 ¾ oz)
750g icing sugar (26 ½ oz)
100ml Baileys (½ cup)
Covering:
600ml double cream (2 ½ cups)
100g cocoa powder (½ cup)
Method:
Preheat oven 180°c
: Butter 2 large 20cm cake tins that are 9cm deep, with a removable base
: Put all the cake ingredients for Baileys sponge in a cake mixer or food processor, blend to a smooth batter.
At this point my niece and nephew danced with me to Harry Belafonte.
: Pour in one of the cake tins and let it bake for 50 minutes
9 After cleaning your mixer, blend all the ingredients for chocolate sponge.
: Pour this in the second tin and also bake for 50 minutes.
;When both cakes are done, chill out, maybe have a nap!
They have to be cold before you spread buttercream.
: Put the butter and icing sugar in a mixer and add the Baileys in small amounts. This took me a while, stick with it!
: Spread the buttercream on the chocolate sponge and lay the Baileys sponge in place on top.
: Make the covering by whisking the cream and cocoa, until cream forms peaks.
< Decorate with your favourite chocolates and dust cocoa powder for that extra 'boom'.
