1 pinch salt


2 ounces melted butter


1/2 cup milk

___________________________________cho鈥?fairy cake


4 ounces butter


4 ounces Baker's or Caster Sugar


4 ounces sifted Self Raising Flour (or All-purpose flour + half tsp baking powder + pinch salt)


2 eggs


1 cup sifted Powdered or Icing sugar


3Tbsp Cocoa powder


Juice of a lemon (*and zest, optional)





Method:


-Put butter and eggs out of the fridge, to warm up to room temperature.


-Preheat oven to 375F


-Put out 30 mini paper cases on a baking tray.


-Either by hand or in a mixer bet the butter and sugar together until pale, fluffy and light. (*optional - add lemon zest at this stage if you desire)


-One at a time, beat the eggs in a separate bowl and then add to the sugar/butter mixture, beating hard, until all the ingredients are incorporated.


-Gently fold the flour and cocoa into the butter mixture until everything is combined. Do not over mix or beat the flour.


-Using a teaspoon, drop small heaped teaspoon dollops of the batter into the paper cases.


-Transfer the tray to the preheated oven. Leave at least 17 minutes without opening the door. They should be golden brown on the surface once cooked. If still a bit pale after 17 minutes, turn the tray in the oven and bake for a further 3 minutes.


Transfer mini cakes to a cooling rack.


-Meanwhile add a few drops of colouring to the sifted powdered sugar in a medium bowl. Add fresh lemon juice, a small squirt at a time, beating hard, until all the sugar is blended into a thick fondant. Go gingerly with the liquid, you want it to be very thick. Stop adding lemon juice as soon as it reaches the fondant stage.


-Carefully drop a dollop of the fondant onto the centre of each little cake. Leave it to spread over the surface. You can guide the icing with a knife dipped in hot water if you want more control over where it dribbles.


-Top with a candy or cake decoration of your choice.Chocolate cake recipes for halloween?
Chocolate Suicide


14 to 16 servings


6 ounces (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter,


cut in squares


12 ounces semisweet chocolate


4 eggs plus 1 yolk


4 egg whites


White chocolate sauce (recipe below)


Fresh strawberries and/or kiwi to garnish


White Chocolate Sauce


5 ounces white chocolate, chopped


2 to 3 ounces whipping cream


Combine chocolate and cream in small saucepan set in larger pan filled to within 1鈭抜nch of the top with


water to create stove鈭抰op water bath. Gently cook over medium heat until mixture reaches body


temperature, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, strain through fine sieve to remove any lumps.


Melt butter and chocolate in double boiler over low heat. Stir with wooden spoon until mixture is


melted, but not hot. Mixture should be body temperature. Transfer chocolate/butter mixture to bowl.


Whip eggs and yolk at high speed with electric mixer. Pour mixture on top of butter/chocolate mixture,


but do not mix in yet.


Put egg whites in clean bowl, whip until soft peaks form.


Add whipped egg whites to chocolate mixture and gently fold in with rubber spatula. Do not over鈭抐old.


Spray two 5 x 9鈭抜nch (about) bread pans with non鈭抯tick cooking spray. Gently divide mixture between


pans. Set each pan in larger pan, add water to larger pan to within one鈭抙alf inch of top to create water


bath.


Bake in a preheated 300 degree F oven for 60 to 70 minutes or until top looks dry (top should not


crack), and cake does not wiggle in pan. Cool 15 minutes. Invert pans onto serving plates.


After cooling, but while still warm, cut in thin slices.


Prepare white chocolate sauce, and spoon onto individual serving plates. Place slices of cake over


sauce. Garnish with fruit as desired.


This dessert is best served warm, but also can be served at room temperature.
