Chocolate cake with popcorn chocolate icing
I baked this cake last week for my youngest's birthday, he was already 9 years old! However, he's not a big cake fan, so I thought I'd try a chocolate popcorn cake, that sounds pretty crazy! (He also voluntarily ate a piece of it, which means something to him!)
Ingredients
100 g butter
2 eggs
180 g brown sugar
60 g flour
2 Tbsp ground nuts
1 Tbsp ground vanilla
2 Tbsp cocoa
200 g milk chocolate
2 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp popcorn
50 g dark chocolate
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C) upper/lower heat.
Let the butter melt.
Mix the eggs and sugar until foamy.
Then add the flour, ground nuts, vanilla, cocoa and melted butter...
...and work everything into a smooth dough.
Line a springform pan (approx. 24 cm) with baking paper, pour the dough into it and bake in a preheated oven at 350 °F (180 °C) upper and lower heat for about 30 minutes.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool thoroughly.
For the icing, slowly melt the milk chocolate and butter in a larger saucepan over low heat.
Add the popcorn, stir...
...and spread everything on the cake.
Let the dark chocolate melt in a water bath and then carefully sprinkle it over the cake.
Let the cake set well in the fridge and then serve.
