Decadent chocolate brownie slab cake, ideal for any celebration and can be prepared in advance.
Ingredients:
  • 300g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 375g butter, chopped
  • 112.50 gm self-raising flour
  • 0.63 gm bicarbonate of soda
  • 97.50 gm cocoa powder
  • 360.00 gm brown sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 260.00 gm buttermilk
  • 320g butter, softened
  • 562.50 gm icing sugar mixture, sifted
  • 42.90 gm cocoa powder, sifted
  • 51.50 gm milk
Instructions:
  • In a heatproof, microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals on MEDIUM (50%), stirring with a metal spoon each time, until melted and smooth. Allow the mixture to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Grease a 5.5cm-deep, 21cm x 30cm (base) baking pan and line the base with baking paper. In a large bowl, sift together the flours, bicarbonate of soda, and cocoa, then add the sugar and stir to combine. In a jug, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk. Add the buttermilk mixture and chocolate to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 55 minutes to 1 hour, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean (cover with foil if necessary). Allow the cake to cool in the pan before serving.
  • Prepare Chocolate frosting: Beat the butter with an electric mixer until it is light and fluffy. Slowly add the mixture of icing sugar, cocoa, and milk, and beat continuously until well combined. Spread the frosting on top of the cake, cut it into 24 pieces, and serve.
