This is a fun an easy cake to make for Halloween, and the kids will LOVE helping and decorating. I found a cute bunny cutter in a Japanese shop and decided that would be perfect for making evil bunnies for Halloween (am I twisted?) You can use whatever spooky shapes you want!
Ingredients
Chocolate Tray Bake
200g chocolate chips
200g/ 1-½ cups self raising flour
200g / 1 cup caster sugar
6 tbsp / ¾ cup cocoa powder
150 ml / ¾ cup sunflower oil
2 large eggs
280 ml / 1 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate ganache
200g Chocolate bitter sweet / dark chocolate chips
200ml (1cup) Double / heavy cream
1 tbsp butter
Decorations:
Bunny cutter (or use a spooky shape cutter)
1 pack fondant icing
little extra icing sugar for rolling
black and red small icing tubes for decorating
Instructions
You will need: 8in x 8in Baking tin lined and greased
Preheat oven to 350f /180c
This is a very easy recipe – simply beat all the cake ingredients together apart from the chocolate chips, in a big bowl until smooth
Then stir in the chocolate chips
Pour into your lined baking tin and pop into the oven for 25- 30 minutes or until cooked through. To test if the cake is cooked poke a small skewer in the center of the cake and if it comes out clean it is done
Or you can press it gently with your finger and if it bounces back it is cooked
Leave to cool on a wire rack before making your ganache/ frosting
To make your chocolate ganache, simply heat the cream and butter until hot – NOT boiling
Pour on top of your chocolate chips and stir until smooth
The heat of the cream melts the chocolate
Cut the cake into squares and coat with the ganache
Pop into the fridge to harden while you make your evil bunnies (or whatever evil shapes you want)
Dust a clean work surface with icing sugar, and a rolling pin
Roll the fondant icing out until quite thin
Using your cutter cut out the shapes and decorate using the black / red icing tubes.
Stick the cut out faces / shapes on top of your cakes and serve up!
