Chocolate Chip Sandwich Cake

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!



This recipe is for a Chocolate Chip Cake. It was baked by Ibrahim (with a little help). The cake is a chocolate sponge flavoured with chocolate chips, and filled with a beautiful chocolate buttercream.

A Simple List of Ingredients:

1. Sugar

2. Butter
3. Eggs
4. Vanilla Flavouring
5. Self-Raising Flour
6. Baking Powder
7. Cocoa Powder
8. Milk Chocolate Chips

Bismillah, let's begin!


Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4.

Add 8 ounces of softened butter.



Cream the butter and sugar together.



Next, take 4 eggs.



Beat each egg in, one at a time.



Until all the eggs have been added.



Add a drop of alcohol-free vanilla flavouring.



Next, add 10 ounces of self-raising flour.



Keep folding the flour in ..



...until the flour is well combined. (If you get tired halfway, ask your sister to take over).



Next, add 1 teaspoon of baking powder.



Add 4 teaspoons of cocoa powder.



Stir well to combine.



Finally, add 4 ounces milk chocolate chips. (Try not to eat them all beforehand, they are for the cake.)



Pour the mixture into 2 greased and lined sandwich cake tins.

Bake for 35 minutes in a preheated oven at Gas Mark 4. 




Turn the cakes out of their tins and cool completely on a wire rack.



To make the chocolate buttercream, place 4 ounces of softened butter into a bowl.

And, 2 teaspoons of cocoa powderand a drop of milk.



Using a whisk, whip the mixture until a light cream forms.



Once the cakes have cooled, spread some chocolate buttercream onto the top of one cake.



Place the second sponge on top, to sandwich them together.



Spread the remaining buttercream on top.



Decorate with chocolate balls and sprinkles, and enjoy!
