I’m on this bandwagon at the moment…. Oh who am I kidding, I drink the stuff from the can. My arse would be a hell of a lot smaller if I didn’t touch the stuff, but I can’t help it. If there is an open tin in the fridge, I’m grabbing the teaspoon and digging right in!

So this recipe is surprisingly light in texture seeing there is so much going on, but chocolate and condensed milk are a match made in heaven.

Method
-
Preheat the oven to 160 degrees.
-
Grease and flour a 20cm round cake tin and set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, pour in the tin of condensed milk.
-
Add the melted butter, the milk and vanilla extract. Mix well until just combined.
-
In another bowl, sift together the dry ingredients (self-raising flour, cocoa and bicarbonate of soda).
-
FOLD the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to over-mix.
-
Pour in the batter and carefully use a spatula to 'flatten' the mix and even out the batter.
-
Bake for 40 minutes. Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
-
Ice when cold.
-
Cake can be frozen. To freeze, allow to cool completely. Double wrap in plastic wrap (ensuring no air is around the cake), and place on a flat surface in the freezer for up to two months.
