Baking with Jamie...

I promised Jamie yesterday that we would do some baking today, and he said it HAD to have chocolate in it lol!
So we made a chocolate cake, and had great fun!
Jamie decided he quite liked the cake mix though....
(excuse the photo - phone cam!)

but it turned out ok - and Jamie was so proud of himself that he'd made it lol!

And here's the recipe....

Choc Chip Cake

4oz SR flour
4oz light brown sugar
2 eggs
1oz cocoa powder
handful of choc chips

for the topping -
icing sugar
cocoa powder
water

chuck everything in a bowl and mix to a 'drop' consistency (you might need to add a little milk if it's a bit dry)
bake at 180c for 30-40mins

when cool mix a couple of tbsp of icing sugar and a teaspoon of cocoa powder together
add water to a thick but runny consistency
pour over cake
leave to set.

Very simple...but everyone seemed to like it when we had some after our tea tonight!

Thanks for looking.
