Chocolate traybake Recipe
Chocolate traybake is a Traybake recipe for 10 people, takes only 30 mins; recipe has vegetable oil, plain flour and cocoa powder.
Ingredients
- Vegetable Oil - 185ml vegetable oil, plus extra for the tin
- Milk - 2 tbsp milk
- Plain Flour - 250g plain flour
- Bicarbonate Of Soda - 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- Baking Powder - 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Vanilla Extract - 2 tsp vanilla extract
- Buttermilk - 250ml buttermilk
- Cocoa Powder - 80g cocoa powder
- Icing Sugar - 200g icing sugar
- Coffee - 125ml strong coffee or espresso, (can be warm, but not hot)
- Salted Butter - 150g salted butter, softened
- Light Brown Soft Sugar - 325g light brown soft sugar
- Large Eggs - 2 large eggs
- Sprinkles - sprinkles, sweets, chocolate shavings or nuts, to decorate
Instructions
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Oil and line the base and sides of a 33cm x 23cm roasting tin or cake tin with a lip of at least 2 1/2 cm. Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, bicarb, sugar and a good pinch of salt in a large bowl. Rub any lumps of sugar between your fingers, shaking the bowl a few times to bring them to the surface.
- Whisk the oil, buttermilk, coffee, vanilla and eggs in a jug, then pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Use a spatula to stir well, removing any pockets of flour. Pour the mixture into the lined tin and bake for 25-30 mins until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. If any wet cake mixture clings to the skewer, return the cake to the oven for 5 mins, then check again. Once cooked, remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for at least 20 mins.
- Meanwhile, make the icing. Melt the butter in a saucepan, then remove from the heat and stir in the icing sugar, cocoa powder and milk. The icing will be very runny but will thicken a little as it cools. (If the icing has set too much before the cake has cooled, reheat it slightly to make it easier to pour.)
- Pour the icing over the cake and leave to set. Decorate with the sweets, sprinkles, chocolate shavings or nuts, then cut into squares and dig in.
